I never met Publo Picasso. I took pictures at the Festival d'Avignon, but I was too shy to ask to go in his studio. It does not look like me now, but I was very shy, and shy of men also. I think there was a world that frightened me totally.

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 didn't have a list of things I should do this year, next year, find a good novel, sign two stars and make a deal - because I think cinema should come from cinema. I never adapted anything. Beautiful books are beautiful books, that's it. I don't know why we should transform them.

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.

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.

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.

I cannot say something different to one person and then another.

I wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.

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

At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.

My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.

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 hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It's my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I'm punk.

Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.

I had flops, I had success.

People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
