Tonight on RTL, I was treated to the cinema; what's more, Badinter opened his mouth and found it scandalous that a publisher had agreed to publish me. [] I'm just kidding, because even if my book is banned in France, it won't be in Canada or the U.S.A. What's more, it's the film that's valid for me, especially if it's made in the U.S.A.
