I always see myself there are many shortcomings.When I was young, I thought I was timid and somewhat bland.I never imagined that I could be considered beautiful.

Perhaps, I was overshadowed by a mother who was very shining with her black hair and a beautiful girl like a Raphael coin school picture (the trend of art appeared in the UK in the middle of the 19th century).Although my mother had never said, I knew that she felt her younger sister was prettier than me because they had the same appearance.My brother is also more beautiful than me: always wrapped a towel around his head and looks exactly like his mother.

Meanwhile, I am like my father.At the boarding school, I was teased as "half a half -male half" because there was no chest.I never do what others think is normal.

When Mom picked us up at school, all the attention would be poured into her mother.She looked like a movie star when driving a convertible triumph, wearing black glasses with curling hair and light lipstick.She often went to the church late and made everyone around her look at her charm.At that time, I will cower in the corner and hope that I have a mother with a normal appearance and brown shoes.

The bigger, the more I realized I could take care of myself to less.I started buying makeup from Woolworths on King's Road.I use a lot of mascara and eyeshadow even though I will be scolded by my father that I look like Cleopatra or Tart.At that time, I was forced to return to the room and bleach half the make-up.After that, I was allowed to go out.

It was surprising that I began to attract attention from the older men, including a person living opposite at Chelsea, England.Although I could see him from the bedroom, in the summer, I was obscured by the tree.When I was 16 years old, I met him near my house and we started talking.He is about 40 years old and I have never seen anyone so handsome.

I am very happy that this is the first time that others notice.Dad allowed me to come to his house to play because he could see us through the balcony.However, Dad did not know we had secretly kissed each other.

At the age of 18, I married composer John Barry.During that time, I always makeup.I think I am in accordance with the beauty standards of England in the 1960s.

Not as beautiful as Jean Shrimpton - my idol but I take care of my appearance through fashionable dresses: very short dresses, blonde and flat bangs.During the marriage with John, I always hide the eyeliner under the pillow.If he woke up, I would eyeliner so that my husband wouldn't think that I had eyes.

I used to be so inferior that most of the time to pursue fashion in a rigid way.Only when divorced and coming to France - where I met Serge Gainbourg at the audition for the movieSlogan, I am confident about my appearance and realize myself has its own appeal.

Very quickly after we met, Serge said I was the ideal model of his beauty.The compliment made me feel great because I often could not be treasured in the marriage with John.No one has ever said that women without breasts will be more attractive.Instead, they often comfort that breasts are not so important or women will be fine without it.However, no man said that they wanted to be with the girl with a boy like me - without chest and hips.

From the new days of acquaintance, Serge took me to the Louvre Museum to see the paintings of medieval artists.He said that he always painted girls looking like me when he was at the art school.

We live in France with daughter Kate and Charlotte.Every Saturday night, I will sing on French television, lying on a piano in a Kim Sa dress.

In Paris, we are always welcome.Even when I brought a large basket into the maxims night club in contravention of the rules, they still let us come in.At that time, we could wear anything like: Serge liked Yves Saint Laurent and the designer to make a skirt for me to play.

We sat on small gold -plated chairs at the fashion store and Serge helped me to coordinate.I am impressed with the outfit with many layers of taffeta - designed by Russian fashion.I always love the excitement when preparing to attend the event.I will wear well and go to dinner, then in the nightclub until 5am.

If we do not participate in programs or filmmaking, we will go out.It was surprising that we had become a star of the year and I appeared on many covers.I worked with many great photographers like Guy Bourdin and realized that I was the taste of some people.

Even at that time, I never thought I was beautiful but I knew for Serge, I was beautiful.The first time I was aware of my beauty was 28 years old.Serge directs me to record the songJe T'aime Moi Non Plus.He removes makeup for me and I cut short hair.Only then did I feel really confident with my skin: no eye makeup, lip contour or any lip gloss.I feel great without effort.

As time goes by, the less I have to try harder.After breaking up with Serge, I was loyal to jeans, shirts, sports shoes and left my hair short.For the third husband, Jacques Doillon, we have never been out to play.Life closed behind the door.No effort at all.All the show disappears and I don't wear makeup, no longer have to pretend or act.

I have bare face and show off the beauty when acting.I feel like I can incarnate anyone and that feeling is so happy.

Despite the image of the previous day, I did not feel less beautiful.After the films made with Jacques, I became a dramatic actor.People talk about my work - singer and actor - instead of appearance and that is happy.

But Jacques thought what I did was a trick and he hated it, so he had a different direction while I was about to come to him.

I arranged all my furniture into a suede bag and boarded the plane.On the flight, I accidentally sat next to Jean-Louis Dumas, then Hermès CEO.My stuff suddenly fell out of my pocket, so we started talking about handbag designs that could avoid the inconvenience like just now.I drew something on the back of the vomiting bag on the plane and that design became a version of the Birkin bag.

Before getting old, my mother suddenly told me: "It disappeared."I asked her what disappeared and she said: "Mother's beauty".I remember I thought: "She continued to say how beautiful she was after many years."

Until recently, I realized that I said the same thing to Lou's daughter.Suddenly my mouth was no longer the same as before, my lips now become flat.I touched my skin on my arm and felt like my mother's skin when I was old.I used to like touching my mother's arm - where the skin was slightly softened, so I didn't mind my skin's change.

People say cleverly that I am still beautiful but I know myself very different.I am not worried about that and I am afraid of plastic surgery to change.Anyway, I no longer acted, my voice was fine to perform, so I could still work.I wrote and I have fun.

Currently, the appearance is not so important for me.It was funny if I tried to groom my hair to look gorgeous.I did all that before.For me now, keeping myself a sense of humor and curiosity about a number of things in life, that's enough.
