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
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
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
To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.
