More quotes by Agnes Varda

Image
I had a world. I don't think I had a career. I made films.
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.
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
You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.
Agnes Varda
Image
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
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 wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.
Agnes Varda
Image
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
Image
I was free always. I could work without the money, to film this and that. But this is another point, because now I'm alone, and I can just use it when I want. I think the digital cameras have changed my view. Even though sometimes, including the installations that I show, I mix 35mm filming and video handmade.

Image
If you know nothing, it could be like an enemy in a way. I think that's the way I felt when I was young.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
Image
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
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 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.
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
I wanted to catch the problem of consumption, waste, poor people eating what we throw away, which is a big subject. But I didn't want to become a sociologue, an ethnographe, a serious thinker. I thought I should be free, even in a documentary which has a very serious subject.
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
Sometimes I want to work with a DP, sometimes I want to work myself. I go to 35mm, 16mm, it's all the same, but it depends on what you want to tell and what are the tools you need.
Agnes Varda
Image
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
