The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.
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
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
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
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
There is no such thing as intellectual property.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
To become immortal, and then to die.
Jean-Luc Godard
I am a painter with letters. I want to restore everything, mix everything up and say everything.
Jean-Luc Godard
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
Jean-Luc Godard
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
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
Living, it can be sad too.
Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
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
