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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I was such a tomboy. I had absolutely no bosom, and I wore my hair really short – shaved, like a boy. Lou Doillon Read Quote

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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote

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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
