I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.

I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.

Image
I had flops, I had success.
Agnes Varda
Image
I've seen many films, and many beautiful films. And I try to keep a certain level of quality of my films. I don't do commercials, I don't do films pre-prepared by other people, I don't do star system. So I do my own little thing.
Agnes Varda
Image
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.

Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
Image
I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It's my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I'm punk.

I know people could tell incredible stories. People have been in concentration camps, or women being raped, or a man going to war and not recovering from it. People have been robbed and beaten. A lot of people have had strong events in their life, which I didn't.

I go back to many films that I really love. Some Bresson, some Godard of the early times, the Cassavetes of those years I love. And the early Wim Wenders. But my own films I don't watch, unless I need them.

If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.

I had a very good time when I did The Gleaners - even though the people are poor, and I was suffering to see the conditions, and plus they are not such lovely hearts. They are tough to each other, they beat each other, they are rude and they are violent and they drink. They're not sweethearts, you know, but some were so interesting.

Image
It's nice to think that we have in ourselves the energy. It's somewhere, but it's sleeping sometimes. I try to wake it up when I need it.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think people should be different. I love people who don't go by the rule that you have to be careful because you're old, you have to do this and that, you have to eat this and that.
Agnes Varda
Image
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
Agnes Varda
Image
In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.

If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
Agnes Varda
Image
I thought, If I'm an ancestor and grandmother when I'm twenty-five, I should go peacefully to the real time when I'm an ancestor and a grandmother.
Agnes Varda
Image
I didn't go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom.

I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.
