Quote

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.

I'm interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away.
Agnes Varda
Image
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
Agnes Varda
Image
Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better.
Agnes Varda
Image
I made a braid because Chinese old people, they say that the God will take you by the hair to join you with - but God didn't take me, so I cut the braid.
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
I didn't have a list of things I should do this year, next year, find a good novel, sign two stars and make a deal - because I think cinema should come from cinema. I never adapted anything. Beautiful books are beautiful books, that's it. I don't know why we should transform them.

I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
Image
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
Agnes Varda
Image
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
Image
I didn't go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom.
Agnes Varda
Image
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
I had flops, I had success.
Agnes Varda

This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.
Agnes Varda
Image
The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen.
Agnes Varda
Image
To share a lot of ideas - not ideas - emotions, a way of looking at people, a way of looking at life. If it can be shared, it means there is a common denominator.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
Image
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.
