More quotes by 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
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is movement, after all.
Jean-Luc Godard
I never read Karl Marx.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
Jean-Luc Godard
In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.
Jean-Luc Godard
When I go in front of the light - go towards it - it is because it brings me energy. That's all.
Jean-Luc Godard
If you have made three or four films, my feeling is, he is older than me because I am still making my first movie. That helps me.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't think I've succeeded in making any really good films. There are moments, scenes, whole movements that sing. It has all added up to a cinema of sorts, even though I'm still learning my art.
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
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
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
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
When Yeats said the center cannot hold, he was talking for himself, but it was true for the rest of us as well.
Jean-Luc Godard
There is no such thing as intellectual property.
Jean-Luc Godard
Americans have no past, so they buy the pasts of others.
Jean-Luc Godard
