Jean-Luc Godard

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

To be immortal and then die

The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second

He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.

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

Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean teamwork. One is always alone on the set as before the blank page. And to be alone... means to ask questions. And to make films means to answer them.

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.

A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.

Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.

i've always wanted, basically, to do research in the form of a spectacle.

All you need for a movie is a gun and a cat.

Sometime reality is too complex. Stories give it form.
