My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.
