More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.
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
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
Because my movies are not successful, they are not shown. So I make a living from the budget.
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
Self-portraits have been done in painting, but never in music or literature. It has no meaning, it makes no sense. And in movies I was wondering if it could. And how.
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
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
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
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
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start the cinema doesn't.
Jean-Luc Godard
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
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
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
There is no point in having sharp images when you've fuzzy ideas.
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
In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.
Jean-Luc Godard
The silent film, it was cut at the age of thirty.
Jean-Luc Godard
