Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000079075
I've always had a strange acting life. I'm the daughter of a director, and a very French, typical director who fell in love with every single one of his actresses. And that's also something that's kind of normal in the acting business, because everything is based on desire, one way or the other. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000108477
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000114675
My mission is to get on the stage and say, 'Listen, I'm a woman, I'm free, I'm a mother, I'm a lover, I'm a friend; I'm shattered by men most of the time, but I'll keep falling in love with them because it's the most thrilling thing in the world; that's what makes me human.' -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000117488
I always loved singing, but I thought it was like drawing - just something you do in your own little corner to calm yourself down. But when my friend, the French songwriter Etienne Daho, listened to my songs, he was so moved that told me that I had to do a demo, share them with the world. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000169144
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000224845
It took me so long to get to the music, where that was what I wanted to do all my life. It took me so long to realise that it wasn't really movies that I wanted to do, but to be on stage singing. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000227540
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000251226
I listen to a variety of music. The only common point is strong lyrics; I'm more obsessed with lyrics than music. I need to hear a form of truth, and if it's a hard truth, even better. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000358535
My mother is old-fashioned; she raised us like girls from a 19th-century book. My sisters and I are known for being the most polite girls in France. My mother wanted us to be like royalty: never ever will you be caught being rude, or superficial or being a star or whatever. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000416003
Home has always been wherever I am. I'm not very attached to walls - or people, for that matter - so I've always loved travelling around. A book in my back pocket, a diary, and a pen is all I need to call any place home. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000418003
The silhouette is the most important thing in clothes. Every French girl knows that. High-waisted trousers give you long legs and a pretty bum which, after all, is what we all want. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000433269
If Rihanna stripped it all down morally rather than with her clothes, perhaps we'd get closer to Nina Simone. She's talented, but all we want is to sing the truth. If Britney Spears was to sing closer to her heart, she might have been the new Bobby Gentry or Dolly Parton. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000435847
I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000437245
The English and Japanese are the most inventive dressers in the world, but French girls are the most beautiful. I am still always amazed by the style of French girls, and the only reason is that they dress according to themselves and not according to fashion. They know what suits them. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000451563
Yeah, you always have to be there and remind people of you. It's complicated when you do music, or when you do anything in general. You need time. I don't know if it's because of the weather or what, but [Canadians] seem to have a relationship to time that I like very much. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000488111
With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion. When I was a young girl, my sister wasn't doing fashion, so I started fashion thinking, 'I'm going to do something that they haven't done yet.' That was my silly scheme at the time. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000488566
I'm a bit of a contrarian, so I like the idea of going on stage without makeup, without the hair being done, in the jeans and shirt I've been wearing all day. At first that was an issue, because I didn't want to be disrespectful. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000489301
My mother taught me to wash my hair as little as possible, and to rinse it with Coke before a shoot for a sexy, tousled look. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000552597
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000568587
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000589991
I was such a tomboy. I had absolutely no bosom, and I wore my hair really short - shaved, like a boy. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000632823
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000673625
'Blanche' opened a new door for me without really making me more famous. 'Blanche' was a risk, but that is the only thing that excites me in this profession. The knowledge that I am an actress who takes risks lifts my soul. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000741396
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000741890
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000742259
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000812058
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000840642
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000897824
My mum is deeply, deeply a man's woman, a man's muse. Maybe because I'm a kid from the '80s, I'm a bit more dominant. I wanted to be the muse and the director also. I wanted to be the man and the woman. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000903533
I love acting; I love movie sets and movies, but, at the same time, there's something about the position of women in that world that frightens me a lot. I find it nearly inhuman to be an actress. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000981678
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 000992143
Music always has to do with vibrations for me. I love to record everyone's heartbeats, in way. None of us beats at the same pace and a song is a magical moment where different entities, for a split second, meet up. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001064166
I have a strong and strange character, and I've rarely met directors who knew what to do with this character. One of the few who did was my father, and in the theatre, Arthur Nauzyciel. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001124258
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001154782
The French press can be very harsh, and the one thing they can't bear is multi-tasking. They despise it to the highest degree, so from the age of five I've been taught that if I did two things at the same time, it meant I didn't know how to do one. It's an obsession that they have. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001189481
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001197147
I picked up the guitar very late, in a very pagan way - I didn't know how to play, but I knew I had to. I drew and I had a diary, but it wasn't enough; I needed to express more. As soon as I learned two notes, I started to tell a story, which is why, I guess, my music resembles blues or folk. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001233292
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001254431
I try to not listen to all the girls I admire musically - like Nina Simone - just so I don't find myself imitating them, even if it's subconsciously. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001321531
I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001323675
What I realized is that the desire for making 'Places' came from the fact that I've got this strange situation with having been born in the glitter, born on the other side of the mirror that everyone fantasizes about. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001379431
I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001402532
In England, you laugh at yourselves; in France, we laugh at others. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001506567
As soon as it's behind computers and machines, which the majority of the planet loves, I find it cold. I need to hear breathing. I like the idea of the mic being a captation of everything that's happening around. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001507001
Music came as the best thing for me at home, where no one can tell you anything. For years I was so closed, wanting to do it exactly like I had it in my head, because this would be the only place that was superpersonal. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001616169
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
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001701243
As a little girl, I had huge fantasies about music. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001717446
I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that. -- Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon Quotes : pic 001717447
As an actress, you're part of what the director is creating, and as a model, you're representing a designer's vision. -- Lou Doillon
