Even moving around onstage seemed very artificial. But at the same time you have to make that effort in order to get back to who you are and even accept not moving, if that's who you are.

My father loved me and he wanted to work with me and he didn't care what people would say.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Image
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Image
I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Image
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
Image
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Image
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
Image
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.

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.
