From the Countess of Castiglione, to Madame de Montespan, Madame de Pompadour, Carla Bruni... what do you think of the role of women linked to powerful men in France?
- Lately, there is always the doubt that it is the woman who gives the strength to decide... I think the woman is fascinated by power so that she can exercise it without responsibility.
What are your thoughts on Catherine Deneuve's position on the sexual harassment business?
- If a woman wants you, all you do to get her is "seduction"!.... If a woman doesn't want you, all you do to possess her is "violence". Deneuve is morally intelligent proof of this misunderstanding.
As a recognized successful playboy, what do you think of Parisian women?
- Extraordinary women for the delicate illusion of making you believe that you are the one to conquer them.
The philosopher Marramao says: "The revolution of 1789 forged the personality of the French (and French women)". What do you think, Roberto, about the personality of French women and the way they speak and intervene in important issues?
- Everything could be born from Marie Antoinette who (it is said) with the people at the door asking "bread! bread!", said to her husband Louis XVI: "Sire, if they don't have bread let's give them our brioches"... Great woman! In trials, the seduction of truth or presumed truth wins, and truth is woman, ergo!?
