More quotes by 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 hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.
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
I was really nervous about people booing, because my mother had gone for a film 20 years earlier and had a terrible time with people booing, whistling, so I knew that in Cannes people can get aggressive.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
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
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
Before I started touring, I worked with someone to help me, even physically, because I was so shy. And you can't be shy going onstage. So I had to push myself in a direction that wasn't myself.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I wish I could just accept that I'm not that good and not be shy about the fact that I'm not that professional.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
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
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
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
Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.
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
