Image
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
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
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
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I have no doubt who I am.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
You should not separate your life from what you do.
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
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
Jeanne Moreau

Image
Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I need, absolutely, to be alone.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.
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
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
Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.
Jeanne Moreau
