Famous quotes containing the words television and/or films:
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“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 doesnt.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
