In an interview on NPR in 1993, Terri Gross asked Jeane Moreau what she likes most about living alone in France. She replied, “The freedom to ask somebody to share my solitude.” I laughed when I heard that, and yet, when I think about it, that’s what I love about being alone—sharing myself with everyone.

Jean Moreau has had an incredible life, and, through acting in films many may condem, she has developed a beautiful clarity on love and the meaning of life. Very interesting.
