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

Jeanne Moreau
Image
Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
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
Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.
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

All those vitamins aren't to keep death at bay, they're to keep deterioration at bay.
