Aging gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. Don't worry girls, look like a wreck, that's the way it goes.
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

I have no doubt who I am.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
Jeanne Moreau
