Carla Bruni-
Interview with Marie Claire

MC: you have also sung, “But my youth looks at me cruelly/ It tells me that it’s the time of departures/ I’m returning to other stars.” How do you see the end of your life?

CBS: I don’t obsess over it, but it does haunt me. I just hope to not have to live to an old age that is completely frayed. And I am less anguished about the progressive loss of my youthful physique than the idea of losing the essence of youthfulness- such as hopes, projects, all of the different roads to take. I don’t particularly like wrinkles, but I also feel they add a certain charm to them is a war lost in advance. My thing is to just stay out of the sun. I never tan.
