Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau

You're responsible for yourself as an actress, you know that your personal growth goes through that alchemy, and you give as much importance to your life as you do to your acting.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.
Jeanne Moreau
Image

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
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
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
All fiction becomes autobiographical when the author has true talent.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
