More quotes by Charlotte Gainsbourg
I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Style for me is a casual way of putting something on. It's not thought out but needs to suit your way of life. Now I like wearing the same sweater over and over again, then taking it off when it's smelly.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It rarely happens that I get to work again with the same director. I had such a wonderful time on Antichrist with Lars von Trier, that I was going to do whatever he proposed me to do. When he sent me the script of Christmas, I just loved it. I think I love anything he writes.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I went on television and I wouldn't say a word I feel so stupid when I watch them again.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I don’t have tons of scripts where I don’t know what to choose and I’m trying to calculate. It’s either I read something and I have an impulse to do it, or in meeting someone, I want to work with them, but it’s always been very obvious.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
The problem with me in doing things simply is that I feel I'm not enough. It's all very embarrassing.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
My father loved me and he wanted to work with me and he didn't care what people would say.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
In France I'm very private, I don't like talking about my life, and I imagined that people would think that I'm now an open book.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Each time I changed, it was as if, on purpose, I didn’t want anyone to know too much about me, which of course now I regret, because I closed myself to everything. But it was my way of dealing with things.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I don't feel I have to share everything.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I can't do things by myself. I need a motivation, and the motivation is always the director's. I find my freedom inside other people's barriers. It's easier for me to find myself inside someone else's tracks.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
