Famous quotes by Jeanne Moreau:

"Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age."
"[Burt Lancaster] couldn't pick up an ashtray before discussing his motivation for an hour or so."
"Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist."
"Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story . . . ."
"Women will not talk about football unless one of them is in love with a football player, and then suddenly you discover that they know everything that is to be known about it."
"Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself."
"I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent."
"People's opinions don't interfere with me."
"When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art."
"I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally."
"Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world."
"I've never worried about age."
"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."
"Some gods may cross your path, but why should gods be beautiful? They could also be frightening."

Back To You

by: Jonh Mayer

back to you
it always comes around
back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late
over you
I'm never over
over you
something about you
It's just the way you move
the way you move me
I'm so good at forgetting
and I quit every game I've played
but forgive me love
I can't turn and walk away
back to you
it always comes around
back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
with your silhouette
should have smiled in that picture
if it's the last that I'll see of you
it's the least that you could not do
oh I will
leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
leave the light on
for me too
back to me
I know that it comes
back to me
doesn't it scare you
your will is not as strong
as it used to be
