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
I never read Karl Marx.
Jean-Luc Godard
Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.
Jean-Luc Godard
Sometime reality is too complex. Stories give it form.
Jean-Luc Godard
I learned from Rossellini that you are rich even if you have a little money.
Jean-Luc Godard
