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.

You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles.

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

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.

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'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 myself - knowing I'm doing a documentary and speaking with the people, telling them I have a bed, that I can eat every day, but I would like to speak to you. And they really gave me wonderful answers. We got along very well without trying to make me look like I'm what I'm not.

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

I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!

I wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.

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.
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.

I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!
