Jean-Luc Godard

“הקולנוע, כמו הציור, מצביע על הבלתי נראה.”

“לעתים קרובות הספרות היא הקולנוע.”

“יש משהו משותף בין מבקר לבין רופא.”

“במאי קולנוע חושב באמצעות עיניו ואוזניו.”

“To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body - both go together, they can't be separated.”

“I know nothing of life except through the cinema.”

“At the cinema, we do not think - we are thought.”

“Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.”

“To be or not to be. That's not really a question.”

“Why did they go to Hollywood? Because they could get access to the American financial sector. The Jews were neither authorized to be bankers or doctors nor lawyers or professors. That's why they concentrated on something new: cinema.”

“I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can't kiss a movie.”

“I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.”

“You don't make a movie, the movie makes you.”

“More or less, I am always saying, 'Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.'”

“Three-quarters of directors waste four hours on a shot that requires five minutes of actual directing. I prefer to have five minutes' work for the crew - and keep the three hours to myself for thought.”

“The idea is to make the script out of a political analysis and then to convey that - sometimes in poetry, sometimes science, sometimes all it takes is a film. The film itself is less and less spectacular because I think very strongly now the more spectacular you are, the more you are absorbed by the things you are trying to destroy.”

“I want to be together with everyone else but stay lonely.”

“More or less, I am always saying, 'Let's do what has not been done.'”

“I make film to make time pass.”

“The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second”
