Jeanne Moreau quotes - page 2

I can be intimidating, but not within the confines of a film shoot. (Jeanne Moreau)

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?
