Aging gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. Don't worry girls, look like a wreck, that's the way it goes.

More quotes by Jeanne Moreau
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
Jeanne Moreau
Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact.
Jeanne Moreau
I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.
Jeanne Moreau
Sometimes there is a great intimacy between women without any homosexuality. This is something that men are less likely to understand, because for them sensuality means sexual. It doesn't excite us to imagine two men together.
Jeanne Moreau
When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.
Jeanne Moreau
Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
Jeanne Moreau
Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.
Jeanne Moreau
You should not separate your life from what you do.
Jeanne Moreau
I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.
Jeanne Moreau
Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
Jeanne Moreau
During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.
Jeanne Moreau
I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.
Jeanne Moreau
I can be intimidating, but not within the confines of a film shoot.
Jeanne Moreau
Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.
Jeanne Moreau
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
Jeanne Moreau
For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.
Jeanne Moreau
To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be.
Jeanne Moreau
What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
Jeanne Moreau
We have so many words for states of mind, and so few words for the states of the body.
Jeanne Moreau
