Image
Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Being an actress is to be in tune with the fantasies of a man. What woman never dreamt of that?
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
When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.
Jeanne Moreau
