Jason King has no gimmicks in his game. He`s a real heady player and he`s a good thinker. Jason is a mature guy, and he thinks the game well.

I don`t think you work with Godard, you experience... Doing a movie with Godard - I have done two, which means I have spent almost two years with him - it`s more like doing an incomparable experience. Just watching Godard - it`s a gift for an actress to make films with him. When I say you don`t work with Godard I mean that you don`t go through any classical path where you build a character. With Godard it`s degree zero - you don`t do anything, it`s a very strange feeling. And yet it is acting - it`s very highly stylised and he`s very directive. The reason is always very precise, there is never any improvisation. I think, finally, he manages to get everybody to talk like him. It`s true! He always wants to close the sense at the end of a line. He closes the sense. It`s very strange. You can`t say, "I`m doing a Godard and I`m playing a prostitute," because Godard is so far away from any assembly of images you may have about that character. That`s why he`s a great director - more than a great director, a great thinker of cinema.

No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.

The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.
