Charlotte Gainsbourg's quotes

I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.
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.
I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.
I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.
Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.
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.
I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.
It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
I used to hate being recognised.
I was putting all those pressures on myself.
I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.
I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.
When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.
I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.
I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.
I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.
In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.
The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.
It's nice that we have all these different films.
The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.
The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.
The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.
You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.
I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.
