More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
We are losing our own capacity because we are poisoned in one way or another.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is movement, after all.
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
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
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
The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.
Jean-Luc Godard
Objects exist and if one pays more attention to them than to people, it is precisely because they exist more than the people. Dead objects are still alive. Living people are often already dead.
Jean-Luc Godard
Hollywood was invented by hoodlums from central Europe. And today a Hollywood lawyer is not a hoodlum. He's a bureaucrat.
Jean-Luc Godard
Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.
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'm very interested in tennis, but when I try to tell younger players about [Bill] Tilden, they're not interested.
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
The world isn't a sad place, it's just big.
Jean-Luc Godard
Words and action in movies are the spirit or the mind. And these days the body is almost completely forgotten. In the beginning the body - nature - was more part of the action.
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
The invention of photography. For whom? Against whom?
Jean-Luc Godard
To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.
