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.

More quotes by Charlotte Gainsbourg
I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.
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
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
I felt that people would criticize everything. I was so scared about playing Paris. I was very much aware that the greatest concerts my father and mother had done were there. I was sure people would be very tough.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It was very liberating to be able to sing in English. It had a different resonance, different images. It was like being a stranger in a foreign land, which was helpful.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It's difficult for me to write in English as it's not my first language, but French is even worse because of my father's influence and because the comparisons that I - not even other people - would make.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's been on the road.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.
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 used to hate being recognised.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
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.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.
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
You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
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
