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.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
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 can be intimidating, but not within the confines of a film shoot.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Jeanne Moreau
