Cineuropa: Charlotte Rampling • Actress
“It’s taken many, many, many years.”
“I just had no other choice. Otherwise I wasn’t going to make it. And I might as well try and make it, because one sister had gone and we wouldn’t want two sisters going.”

“Existem tantos mal-entendidos na minha vida (...) Certa vez causei um escândalo por dizer que vivia com dois homens (...) Eu não disse isso num sendito sexual (...) Éramos apenas como quaisquer pessoas que dividem um apartamento”
“There are so many misunderstandings in life. I once caused a scandal by saying I lived with two men [...] I didn't mean it in a sexual sense [...] We were just like any people sharing an apartment..”
“Non sono una "montata". Non lo sono, perché faccio questo mestiere per vera passione e non per la ricerca sfrenata della popolarità. Inoltre, ho avuto la fortuna, grazie alla mia buona estrazione sociale, di acquisire un'ottima educazione, in grado di impedirmi qualsiasi atteggiamento antisociale, villano, presuntuoso. Quindi non ho proprio la struttura, la vocazione della star.”
“Non è certo nell'ambiente del cinema che solitamente "pesco" le mie amicizie. Non "lego" molto, in definitiva, con gli abitanti del cosiddetto mondo dello spettacolo.”
“Quando entri in un meccanismo come quello del cinema, è estremamente difficile uscirne. Il teatro rimane uno dei cardini principali nel cinema, la mia esperienza teatrale rimane un fatto fondamentale. È stata la base.”
“Some people can’t bear their faces, so they change them. I happen to like mine. I’ve always seen it as a reference: a sort of face value that I could always relate to, however puckered and strange it may be. In the end, it’s all you’ve got, because you’re alone a lot of the time.”
“In tutte le faccende della vita, bisogna sempre avere un po' di fortuna ed essere riconoscenti a qualcuno per i propri successi.”
“Nel vostro paese [L'Italia], mi è stata offerta l'opportunità di fare sempre delle ottime cose. Del resto, in campo cinematografico, l'Italia è indiscutibilmente un paese-guida.”
“...The tabloids are only there for those who choose to be in them. Personally, I’d rather not. In France you have the law on your side, unlike in England where the papers can really come into your life and shatter it.”
“Celentano è un uomo fantastico. Mi colpì subito dal momento che mi fecero leggere il copione del film. Poi, conoscendolo meglio, ho potuto capire maggiormente la sua umanità. Apprezzare quella sua filosofia tascabile ma molto pura ed efficace. Adriano è migliore, per coerenza, di tanti altri supercervelloni.”
“Gli Americani sono soliti premiare con l'Oscar solo film tipo "Il padrino" e "La stangata". Il film della Cavani [Il portiere di notte] non credo possa rientrare nei loro gusti.”
“Gli americani, cinematograficamente parlando, sono solo degli ottimi tecnici e basta. Non penso che riuscirei a girare dei film in America. Parliamo la stessa lingua, ma sul piano cinematografico non riusciamo a capirci. Laggiù, l'attore viene utilizzato come un prodotto, un robot.”
“In genere non faccio film per far divertire le persone. Per scoprire cosa significa essere normale è necessario immergersi nella stranezza.”
“[...] è la mia natura sprofondare nell'isolamento, abbandonarmi al non-desiderio di avere rapporti, a disconnettermi dal mondo. Per questo il cinema è perfetto per me. Perché mi obbliga, attraverso i personaggi, a uscire.”
“Il cinema è questo, vivere in un continuo presente. È tutto dentro di te allo stesso tempo e per sempre. Nulla si distrugge.”
“Non ho mai chiamato un regista, né gli ho fatto sapere che avrei voluto lavorare con lui. Sono troppo orgogliosa. Devo essere sedotta, devono invitarmi a ballare. Sono una ragazza vecchio stile.”
“Charlotte emana un'enorme forza e tranquillità, un carisma che ti pervade. Accanto a lei si gode un po' di luce riflessa. (Elena Radonicich)”
“Age teaches you not to try and change your true nature, and just to go with it. So I spend a lot of time going down under, to find my own personal integrity within myself.”
“We weren't happy. It was a nightmare, breaking the rules and all that. Everyone seemed to be having fun, but they were so taking many drugs they wouldn't know it anyway.”
“There are so many misunderstandings in life. I once caused a scandal by saying I lived with two men [...] I didn't mean it in a sexual sense...I was just too dirty to clean my act up. We were just like any people sharing an apartment..”
“Citazioni in ordine temporale.”
“Nós não estávamos felizes. Aquilo era um pesadelo, quebrar as regras e tudo e mais. Todo mundo achava que estávamos nos divertindo bastante, mas as pessoas se enchiam tanto de drogas que nem sabiam o que estava acontecendo.”
“(en) There are so many misunderstandings in life. I once caused a scandal by saying I lived with two men I didn't mean it in a sexual sense. We were just like any people sharing an apartment.”
“I thought that after such a long time of not letting her be with me. I would like to bring her back into my life.”
“[«Cosa succede quando si invecchia?»] Si conquista un’indipendenza mai avuta. C'è meno stress: non devi interrogarti sulla maternità, sul lavoro, sul matrimonio. [...] devo soltanto preoccuparmi di essere me stessa. Se non ti abbandoni ai rimpianti, è bello essere vecchi!”
