Eric Rohmer quotes:

The French are very individualistic.

I don't think that my films are 'literary'; they are based on the most ordinary things of life.

Western civilization shapes the content of my films, provides me with subjects that haven't been used before.

The French don't seek out alliances except when there are difficulties.

A good film is also a documentary

I don't owe my success to state subsidies but to a faithful public which has sustained me.

But if I didn't read, I'd think, and thinking, when you come down to it, is the most painful thing of all, and the most monopolizing

I think that high art reposes on popular art, without one there cannot be another.

You have to know how to go against the trend of the times.

You can't think of nothing.
