Image
I can be intimidating, but not within the confines of a film shoot.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
It's this subconscious part of me that knows just how far to go, and suddenly, everything bursts into flames.
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

Jeanne Moreau
Image
All those vitamins aren't to keep death at bay, they're to keep deterioration at bay.

To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­
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
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
Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.

Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
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
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
You suffer when you give birth, it doesn't matter, it's nature. They tell you, oh, those hormone pills, they're terrible, you'll get cancer. But when it comes to Viagra for men, they don't speak about cancer.
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
One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.
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
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.
