If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
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.

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

To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
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
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
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.
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
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path.
