It is impossible for me to get involved in films that I don't like, so I just wait for a project that really tickles my fancy.

More quotes by Lou Doillon
There's something I find highly embarrassing about it. As soon as I think I've written something smart, the next day I've got nausea, thinking, Don't even try to be smart, it's absurd.
Lou Doillon
In England you laugh at yourselves, in France we laugh at others.
Lou Doillon
Singing is the rawest thing. Having been naked in films or naked in photo shoots, it's nothing compared to singing. It's absolute nakedness. You are stripped bare!
Lou Doillon
I'm horrified most of the time. I wish it was more complicated, but at the same time, each time I try to complicate it I hate it because I hate the idea of writing to impress.
Lou Doillon
I've always found that fashion is, first of all, mainly for yourself. So my two icons are, on one side, Little Edie from 'Grey Gardens' and, of course, like all my generation, I'm influenced by Kate Moss.
Lou Doillon
I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.
Lou Doillon
There's so many good books, but I'm always like, I'm sorry, I have five more Faulkners to read, I can't be bothered. Most of the time when you try, you fall on the wrong one.
Lou Doillon
The whole point of art school is that you're going to be able to have nudes all day long and a teacher who is there to move you. It's great.
Lou Doillon
I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.
Lou Doillon
I have a huge scarf from Hermes that I bought the day I signed my record deal. I had never had an Hermes scarf. And I ran to buy one, thinking, Now, this is a symbol, I need one, I need an Hermes scarf, which actually now Im quite embarrassed about. Most of the time I twist it so much that no one notices it, and just bundle it around me.
Lou Doillon
Acting seems much easier than singing, in fact, because you are putting on a costume - whereas here you are taking everything off.
Lou Doillon
I always have lipstick, and use the same lipstick for my cheeks as blush, so that it looks very natural. It's a good trick I learned from my mother. I like NYX or MAC because they have a lot of pigment and they're matte.
Lou Doillon
My mother always spoke to me in English, so it's technically my maternal language, and it became a kind of private language - I was happy that I could speak in English to my mum and the majority of people wouldn't understand it.
Lou Doillon
I was kind of ashamed of my bourgeois family as a teenager, I guess - I had dreadlocks, shopped in thrift stores and pretended I had no money. At that time, I would have spat on a girl who was buying Yves Saint Laurent.
Lou Doillon
There is a thing where I get scared watching other people, and really realize, My God, their happy lives are going to stop. Sometimes you feel that people have 19 jokers in their back pocket and, because of the way they're living, you're like, Do you know that this is not going to happen over and over again forever?
Lou Doillon
It doesn't help that we are three generations of actresses, who are always obsessed with losing time. But on the other side, historically, women have much more time on their hands than before. It goes together-the more time we have, the more we're flipping out about how we've got to deal with it.
Lou Doillon
I'm in my father's car at age 9 or 10 crying to Leonard Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat,' thinking that you could write nearly a love letter to a man who betrayed you by having an affair with your wife. I was thinking how wonderful and pure music can be for explaining situations.
Lou Doillon
I was always the funny-looking girl. I couldn't compete with the Brazilian girls. My nose is off, my ears are too big. But I think it's my personality that these designers were drawn to.
Lou Doillon
The whole process of music for me is something absolutely honest and really naked and bare, so I never forced myself to write in French.
Lou Doillon
I was such a tomboy. I had absolutely no bosom, and I wore my hair really short - shaved, like a boy.
Lou Doillon
