More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
One must confront vague ideas with clear images.
Jean-Luc Godard
If I'm speaking it means that in one way or another when I say, I'm cold it belongs to me: I'm cold. But just by saying this it becomes general.
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
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
The fact is that, unless you are very good, most first movies are too long, and you lose your rhythm and your audience over two or three hours.
Jean-Luc Godard
He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.
Jean-Luc Godard
If you have $300,000 to shoot a cigarette on a table, it's an enormous amount of money. Maybe that's why my movies are the way they are. But it's the only way I can make a living.
Jean-Luc Godard
If we think today the way TV is ordering us to think, we think of Einstein as someone modern. Stravinsky is modern music, but it came at the time of Birth of a Nation, which is an old movie.
Jean-Luc Godard
I never read Karl Marx.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.
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
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Jean-Luc Godard
I have a large number of cassettes, but I look at them mainly for reference purposes.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.
Jean-Luc Godard
American pictures usually have no subject, only a story. A pretty woman is not a subject. Julia Roberts doing this and that is not a subject.
Jean-Luc Godard
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
Jean-Luc Godard
If direction is a look, montage is a heartbeat. To foresee is the characteristic of both but what one seeks to foresee in space, the other seeks in time.
Jean-Luc Godard
When sex gets problematic, the totalitarianist walks in.
Jean-Luc Godard
the movie is not a thing which is taken by the camera the movie is the reality of the movie moving from reality to the camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
Jean-Luc Godard
