Jean-Luc Godard
The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.
Jean-Luc Godard
Hollywood was invented by hoodlums from central Europe. And today a Hollywood lawyer is not a hoodlum. He's a bureaucrat.
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
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
The silent film, it was cut at the age of thirty.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
Jean-Luc Godard
The invention of photography. For whom? Against whom?
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
If I'm speaking it means that in one way or another when I say, I'm cold it belongs to me: I'm cold. But just by saying this it becomes general.
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
I am a painter with letters. I want to restore everything, mix everything up and say everything.
Jean-Luc Godard
When I have a low budget I always try to make it a lesson in economy.
Jean-Luc Godard
Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.
Jean-Luc Godard
Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean. (Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie)
Jean-Luc Godard
American pictures usually have no subject, only a story. A pretty woman is not a subject. Julia Roberts doing this and that is not a subject.
Jean-Luc Godard
I've decided that what interests me most is that you can only capture the light at a certain time. But after that, five minutes after that, then it's a different thing. So if you don't have the right aperture, you've missed it. Of course, you can correct it in the lab. But not really.
Jean-Luc Godard
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
