More quotes by 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 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
I have no doubt who I am.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
Image
I need, absolutely, to be alone.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story.
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
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?

Image
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
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
Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
We have so many words for states of mind, and so few words for the states of the body.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.
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
It's this subconscious part of me that knows just how far to go, and suddenly, everything bursts into flames.
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
To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
