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

Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
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
People like to say, 'What do you mean exactly?' I would answer, 'I mean, but not exactly.'
Jean-Luc Godard
Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.
Jean-Luc Godard
To become immortal, and then to die.
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
