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.

More quotes by Charlotte Gainsbourg
I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.
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
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
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
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
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
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
I used to hate being recognised.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I don't feel I have to share everything.
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 went on television and I wouldn't say a word I feel so stupid when I watch them again.
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
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
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
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 don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
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
