Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.

I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.

When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
