“This is an attack not only on France, but on freedom of speech. You know what that means,” he told the reporters present.

“This is why I wanted to give you all pencils. This liberty must remain for all eternity. There are no tragic events that can change that.

“We are like the Charlie Hebdo journalists, as our job is to entertain people. This is why I feel like one of them. We are all Charlie in this tragedy.”
