“The audience for this TV show is such that all artists dream of performing on it.”

“At the beginning of my career, I realized something. I noticed that masters of ceremonies were mostly men. I thought it might be a struggle to encourage women to take this path. So I started lobbying and I said that a man who hosts well is just fine. But a woman who presents well and hosts well is definitely better. Because she adds elegance and grace. To young women who want to get involved in this profession, she tells them to bring their personality. Above all, you shouldn't try to look like everyone else.”

“I'm not the type to say that the difficulties I encounter in my job are linked to my status as a woman. No, far from it. I believe that difficulties are always inherent to a function, to a profession. You need to be a woman or a man to encounter constraints in a profession.”

“It was my first appearance on television and I admit that the show was a success.”

“I was part of all the newspaper, English, literature, and theater clubs.”
