More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.
Jean-Luc Godard
He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.
Jean-Luc Godard
Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.
Jean-Luc Godard
Movies are a world of Fragments.
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
When there's 100 people around you can't really forget yourself.
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
A critic is a soldier that fires on his own men.
Jean-Luc Godard
Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.
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
I make film to make time pass.
Jean-Luc Godard
Now at my age I understand how sad it must have been for some directors or actors at the time the talkies began. Because, really, a whole continent disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.
Jean-Luc Godard
Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.
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
There is no point in having sharp images when you've fuzzy ideas.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is capitalism in its purest form.... There is only one solution - turn one's back on American cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard
