Author David Sedaris Doesn't Like Living In France

By ANDREW DANSBY, Houston Chronicle 2008:

Question: So do you still like living in France?
Sedaris: Oh, I don't know. I applied for citizenship in England. I just found that France as I get older makes me crabby. (...)
In France people are more selfish. ``I'm the center of the universe. I'm going to stand in front of the turnstile of the subway and call a friend because I feel lonely and you need to go around me.'' Or ``I'm going to allow my dog to defecate in the doorway of your store, and he's an animal, and you need to understand that.''
