More quotes by 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
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
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
When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
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
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
Photography is truth...and cinema is truth 24 times a second.
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
This new world which is being born is cynical and amnesiac. And it has eliminated perspective.
Jean-Luc Godard
Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
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
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
Because my movies are not successful, they are not shown. So I make a living from the budget.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is like a personal diary, a notebook or a monologue by someone who tries to justify himself before a camera.
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
When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
Jean-Luc Godard
Now at my age I understand how sad it must have been for some directors or actors at the time the talkies began. Because, really, a whole continent disappeared.
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
I am a painter with letters. I want to restore everything, mix everything up and say everything.
Jean-Luc Godard
