In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
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
It's this subconscious part of me that knows just how far to go, and suddenly, everything bursts into flames.
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
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
Jeanne Moreau
Image
I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.
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
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
Image
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
