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
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
Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.
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
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
Jeanne Moreau
