Charlotte Gainsbourg, interviewed by Michael Vazquez

Charlotte Gainsbourg earnestly, affably discusses her self-perception and how, despite a life begun at 12 in film and music, she doesn't consider herself an artist, and how this may actually be reassuring and affords her a healthy distance form the trappings of compulsory creation of Art. She also talks about returning to music 20 years after the death of her father, with whom she recorded the controversial "Lemon Incest" at age 12; her work with Lars Von Trier on Anti-Christ, for which she was voted Best Actress at Cannes; recording with Beck. I edited out my questions for length and I regret having to do this to fit the 10-minute limit, though what you see here is the essence of the conversation. More notes to come.
