Jeanne Moreau Giving Quotations

My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.

One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.

To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.

How can you say something's important if you don't first withdraw and feel how rich you've become? That way you can become really generous. Otherwise, what do you give?

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.

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.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

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.
