Jeanne Moreau
Image
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
Jeanne Moreau

If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path.
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
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.
