More quotes by Jeanne Moreau

Image
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
Image
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
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
Image
In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Jeanne Moreau

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
Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.

Image
Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
Image
I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Being an actress is to be in tune with the fantasies of a man. What woman never dreamt of that?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
You suffer when you give birth, it doesn't matter, it's nature. They tell you, oh, those hormone pills, they're terrible, you'll get cancer. But when it comes to Viagra for men, they don't speak about cancer.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.

Image
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
