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
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 be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­
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
Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.
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
Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.
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.
