I do feel slightly different when I speak French, just a bit more, well, French. Foreign, I guess. Like I'm not my boring old English self.
I think that's definitely part of the fun of speaking another language, particularly since it is almost like a costume you can hide behind. Sometimes you want to take it off because you have something to say you don't have the words for, but other times, like others have said, you can almost be more outspoken because you don't have the same attachments to the language.
