Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
Jean-Luc Godard
One must confront vague ideas with clear images.
Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
I'm satisfied to have an ordinary success and an ordinary life and an ordinary income. Later, I don't know.
Jean-Luc Godard
I know that I am old, because even if I think I'm younger than everyone - but that's true - my way of hoping and continuing is that I am always in a younger position than the other one.
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
In Europe, the houses and the apartments are getting smaller. So there is no need to increase the screen because the apartment is becoming smaller.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth.
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
I have a large number of cassettes, but I look at them mainly for reference purposes.
Jean-Luc Godard
When there's 100 people around you can't really forget yourself.
Jean-Luc Godard
I am nowhere. You can call me the man in the middle.
Jean-Luc Godard
Sometime reality is too complex. Stories give it form.
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
I make film to make time pass.
Jean-Luc Godard
To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.
Jean-Luc Godard
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
