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.

The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .

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

This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.

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.

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.

I don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue ... It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.
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 quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women I don't even want to meet them or see them.
Agnes Varda
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
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.

People like my films. They understand me through my films it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think people should be different. I love people who don't go by the rule that you have to be careful because you're old, you have to do this and that, you have to eat this and that.

I was eighteen, this was back in '46, so we also had these very frightening images of soldiers in the streets of Paris. So the effect of war, plus my shyness, plus my lack of education - I was afraid of men, really. It changes later, but it took me a certain time to adjust.

I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.

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

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