European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films

Image
I felt very special in Paris, more special than I felt in London. I love London for different reasons. I've always been close to London, being English. But somehow there's something special about living as an Englishwoman in Paris.

Image
French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that

I am not qualified to be a Dame. To be Dame you have to represent England in a way that I don't.

I regret not having enough training, I trained for a year at The Royal Court, but I very quickly went off to do films and television.

To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don't even know how to begin to grieve, and I don't know how you can be taught to grieve.

The process of filmmaking is very musical, you get into the rhythm and the rhythmics of how someone is, especially with Woody Allen who is very much into body language and body movement.
Charlotte Rampling

I've lived through deaths in my family and I've lived through separations in my family so those are the big ones. Those are the ones that press the biggest buttons in human beings' lives.

The '60s in London obviously brought about the explosion of music, the Beatles especially, and then the Rolling Stones and other forms of music, and then fashion and photography and films - kitchen-sink dramas we called them at that time, which was our nouvelle vague in Britain, films that talk about real life.

Quite often in life, when a tragic event arrives it becomes a springboard for mirroring all other things in one's life that one hasn't come to terms with.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin
Charlotte Rampling
Image
By trying to control everything we become very neurotic, more and more desperate. It's a huge tragic thing.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
You can't fool an audience with lots of bits and pieces. You have to lead them somewhere.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
I can be seen as not being very communicative, or rather mysterious, or distant, or rather cold - all those things. Yeah, I know I can give off that impression. So I am that, too.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
Ever since I was a small child, Ive had this feeling - its in my nature, and so its not even pretentious - that if everyones going one way, I will go the other, just by some kind of spirit of defiance.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
We all have loads of information. What an actor does is bring it to the surface. I jump without a net because that's how I am. The information comes out because I am brave enough to allow it. I'm not brave as a human being in everyday life. I'm brave when I'm acting.

You cannot watch yourself dispassionately.

You go though a period of immense pain when reality meets the dream.
Charlotte Rampling
Image
You don't need the painful memories, because either you've resolved them. Denying always makes them want to come back. Denial is a mechanism that doesn't work. But allowing them to come back in little by little, those memories, you can begin to be quite comfortable with them, and it's even nice to have that as part of the map of your life.
