I have a huge scarf from Hermes that I bought the day I signed my record deal. I had never had an Hermes scarf. And I ran to buy one, thinking, 'Now, this is a symbol, I need one, I need an Hermes scarf,' which actually now I'm quite embarrassed about. Most of the time I twist it so much that no one notices it, and just bundle it around me. Lou Doillon

There is an image of me in France that is a long stretch from who I really am.

Sometimes I think, 'Gosh, that sounds nice, I'd love to be that girl.' Lou Doillon

If a director is to work with you for two months, he must be in love with you in some way or another. Lou Doillon
