Jean-Luc Godard
When I have a low budget I always try to make it a lesson in economy.
Jean-Luc Godard
To be only spectacular should be 5 or 10 percent of cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
One must confront vague ideas with clear images.
Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
There are two kinds of homeland: one that is given is like a negative, and one that you have to conquer is like the positive.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
If you want to make a documentary you should automatically go to the fiction, and if you want to nourish your fiction you have to come back to reality.
Jean-Luc Godard
