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.

More quotes by 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
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
I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
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
The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
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
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
You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.
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
Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I haven't found a comfortable place onstage. I'm sure it doesn't have to be comfortable, but I'm very nervous, so I don't enjoy myself.
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'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
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 would love to be able to do a film. I would love to be able to focus on what excites me in watching actors.
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.
