I think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.

More quotes by Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
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
Sometimes I say, If I had seen some masterpieces, maybe I wouldn't have dared start. I started very - not innocent, but naïve in a way.

When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language.

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
I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That's what I try to do all the time.
Agnes Varda
My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
Agnes Varda
I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.
Agnes Varda
I cannot say something different to one person and then another.
Agnes Varda
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
Agnes Varda
The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .
Agnes Varda
It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.
