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

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
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.

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'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
I just didn't see films when I was young. I was stupid and naïve. Maybe I wouldn't have made films if I had seen lots of others maybe it would have stopped me.
Agnes Varda
Image
The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
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 try to do nothing. I drink rosemary when I have a lot of work to do. People take coffee, they take speed, whatever. I take rosemary.

I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.

I'm still fighting. I don't know how much longer, but I'm still fighting a struggle, which is to make cinema alive and not just make another film.
