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.

More quotes by 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
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 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
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
In England you laugh at yourselves, in France we laugh at others.
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 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
Luckily, I was raised by a kind of gypsy family, which is why I always get along better with people who worked in circuses than with kids of other actors. My mom was so carefree with us in a beautiful way. We were used to sleeping anywhere.
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! It's very strange. Acting seems much easier, in fact, because you are putting on a costume - whereas here you are taking everything off.
Lou Doillon
In a modern world where a majority of women say, 'I don't need you, I've got my money, I've got my stuff,' I say, 'I desperately need men.' My whole album is a tribute to men. It takes a man in me to tell you that I'm on my knees for men.
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 think I was pretty much hated in France. The French press ignored me. There was a movement when the children of celebrities faced strong animosity.
Lou Doillon
I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.
Lou Doillon
The more you’re writing absolutely honestly, and absolutely bare of intention - even if it feels absolutely personal and small because it’s at your own scale - other people relate to it much more.
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
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'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
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
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.
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
