At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.
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

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.
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

I used to hate being recognised.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

I was putting all those pressures on myself.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

Charlotte Gainsbourg

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

It's nice that we have all these different films.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
