“It took me so long to get to the music, where that was what I wanted t...” — Lou Doillon Quote

“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.”

“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.”

“I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music.”

“All my life, the naysayers have told me that I can't win because I'm a progressive... because I'm a woman... even because I'm a lesbian.”

“I always wanted to be a world champion, all my life. At 13, I told my mom I would be a world champion.”

“I've been an outsider all my life - I don't care.”
