119 Quotes by Charlotte Gainsbourg

I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.

I'd love to be able to write again, but I'm so repetitive. And it was all about fear. Never positive. Just indulgent about my sadness.

I haven't found a comfortable place onstage. I'm sure it doesn't have to be comfortable, but I'm very nervous, so I don't enjoy myself.

I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.

I don't have tons of scripts where I don't know what to choose and I'm trying to calculate. It's either I read something and I have an impulse to do it, or in meeting someone, I want to work with them, but it's always been very obvious.

Before I started touring, I worked with someone to help me, even physically, because I was so shy. And you can't be shy going onstage. So I had to push myself in a direction that wasn't myself.

I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

I thought people wouldn't take me seriously if too much acting was involved in the singing. But now I love the idea of mixing everything together.
