There is no point in having sharp images when you've fuzzy ideas.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
If we think today the way TV is ordering us to think, we think of Einstein as someone modern. Stravinsky is modern music, but it came at the time of Birth of a Nation, which is an old movie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth...and cinema is truth 24 times a second.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
Jean-Luc Godard
The fact is that, unless you are very good, most first movies are too long, and you lose your rhythm and your audience over two or three hours.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start the cinema doesn't.
Jean-Luc Godard
To become immortal, and then to die.
Jean-Luc Godard
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Jean-Luc Godard
There are different kinds of painting, some with lights and some without, but still if you look at any painting here (in the light) and then over here (out of the light) it's an entirely different thing. The consciousness of this came to the Impressionists and I'm very interested in that.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
Jean-Luc Godard
Living, it can be sad too.
Jean-Luc Godard
When I go in front of the light - go towards it - it is because it brings me energy. That's all.
Jean-Luc Godard
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
It makes me laugh when you bring two things together which have nothing to do with one another.
Jean-Luc Godard
the movie is not a thing which is taken by the camera the movie is the reality of the movie moving from reality to the camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.
Jean-Luc Godard
