Jean-Luc Godard
Because my movies are not successful, they are not shown. So I make a living from the budget.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is movement, after all.
Jean-Luc Godard
I write and film history I don't make it.
Jean-Luc Godard
Even with painting, even abstract paintings, you need the incoming of, light on the canvas.
