To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­
Jeanne Moreau
Image
What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
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
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
Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
Jeanne Moreau
Image
You're responsible for yourself as an actress, you know that your personal growth goes through that alchemy, and you give as much importance to your life as you do to your acting.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I have no doubt who I am.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
You should not separate your life from what you do.
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
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
