More quotes by Agnes Varda
I was a photographer first.I worked alone. I did it my way as much as I could. I have been sort of courageous about doing things, because I didn't think I should do less than my brothers.
Agnes Varda
To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.
Agnes Varda
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
Agnes Varda
I cannot say something different to one person and then another.
Agnes Varda
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
Agnes Varda
Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It's just going through my body of work as something I can pick from.
Agnes Varda
The mirror is the tool of the one who wants to do a self-portrait. And if you want to make a photo you need a mirror.
Agnes Varda
The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .
Agnes Varda
Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better.
Agnes Varda
You are always in the world. Even in Vagabond. I am not on the road, I am not eating nothing. But in a way we all have a Mona. We all have inside ourselves a woman who walks alone on the road. In all women there is something in revolt that is not expressed.
Agnes Varda
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
It's interesting work for me to tell my life, as a possibility for other people to relate it to themselves - not so much to learn about me.
Agnes Varda
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
Agnes Varda
I see all these students, and I admire them - they're trying to learn something, they go to school, they do film school, they go on shoots, they help. I'm sure they learn a lot, and some of them, it makes them aware of what they wish to do. I was - that's the way I was - autodidact.
Agnes Varda
I don't try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers. Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.
Agnes Varda
I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
Agnes Varda
Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.
