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
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
I am a woman with absolutely no sense of nostalgia.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­
Jeanne Moreau

Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
Jeanne Moreau

It's this subconscious part of me that knows just how far to go, and suddenly, everything bursts into flames.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
