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.

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
I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.
Jeanne Moreau
Image

Jeanne Moreau
Image
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

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

I am a woman with absolutely no sense of nostalgia.
