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.

More quotes by Charlotte Gainsbourg
Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.
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
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
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
I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.
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
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
I went on television and I wouldn't say a word I feel so stupid when I watch them again.
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
Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.
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
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 feel I have to share everything.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
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
My father loved me and he wanted to work with me and he didn't care what people would say.
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 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 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.
