Lou Doillon Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

There was this really rock n’ roll guy who was very obviously dragged to my concert by his girlfriend. He had tattoos all over, and he was wearing a Metallica T-shirt. He came up to me said it was one of his favorite concerts because I had reached for his heart and dragged it out and put it in front of his face Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I’m very English like that Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To be an actor is to be ambiguous in every form, which is a very hard way to live. You represent desire: the desire of the director and the desire of the audience, even if it’s a subconscious desire. If a director is to work with you for two months, he must be in love with you in some way or another Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I was such a tomboy. I had absolutely no bosom, and I wore my hair really short - shaved, like a boy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
