More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard

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

Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
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
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
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
People come to Cannes just to advertise their films, not with a particular message. But the advantage is that if you go to the festival, you get so much press coverage in three days that it advertises the film for the rest of the year.
Jean-Luc Godard
I make film to make time pass.
Jean-Luc Godard
We are losing our own capacity because we are poisoned in one way or another.
Jean-Luc Godard
Even with painting, even abstract paintings, you need the incoming of, light on the canvas.
Jean-Luc Godard
The world isn't a sad place, it's just big.
Jean-Luc Godard
