More quotes by Jeanne Moreau

Image
I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.
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
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
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

Jeanne Moreau
Image
My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
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
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
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
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
Image
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
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.

In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
