Image
I waited for each film to become important for me. If I had no ideas for a film, I didn't do a film. So I made not that many films for fifty-four years of working.

Image
The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen.
Agnes Varda
Image
I had a world. I don't think I had a career. I made films.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.

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

Image
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
Agnes Varda
Image
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
Agnes Varda
Image
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
