I have never written a book about my life, despite being offered purses of gold. I made 'Boxes' because I wanted to make a sincere depiction of a daughter who has lost her father, or the jealousy one can feel towards a daughter who has become more beautiful than you and whose stepfather starts to take her shopping. -Jane Birkin Jealousy
When I arrived in France aged 20, I marched against the death penalty, which was an unpopular thing to protest against at the time. -Jane Birkin Death
