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
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.
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
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.
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.
