Love Quote by Eva Green

"I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up"

About this Quote

Restlessness is doing the talking here, and Eva Green gives it a sly pivot: from "someone" to "something". That self-correction is the whole engine of the quote. It takes what could be read as romantic hunger and reframes it as existential hunger - less about a partner than about an animating force. The apology ("Sorry") isn’t just politeness; it’s a flash of self-awareness, like she catches herself mid-cliche and refuses to perform the expected script of yearning-for-a-person.

As an actress whose public image often leans intense, gothic, or combustible, Green’s phrasing plays against the standard celebrity soundbite. She’s not selling a love story. She’s describing a creative or emotional reboot: the need for fixation, obsession, a project, a role, a craft - the kind of "something" that reorganizes your inner life. Falling in love becomes a metaphor for attention, for choosing a north star that makes the days feel less like repetition.

"I need to wake myself up" lands like a diagnosis of numbness rather than sadness. It suggests that drifting is the real threat, not heartbreak. The subtext is almost practical: passion as a tool, not a destiny. In a culture that treats romance as the default cure for malaise, Green’s line quietly insists that aliveness can come from art, work, risk, curiosity - any commitment strong enough to pull you back into your own senses.
