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.

More quotes by Agnes Varda
People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
Agnes Varda
I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
I thought, If I'm an ancestor and grandmother when I'm twenty-five, I should go peacefully to the real time when I'm an ancestor and a grandmother.
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
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
When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!
Agnes Varda
I don't try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers. Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.
Agnes Varda
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
I see all these students, and I admire them - they're trying to learn something, they go to school, they do film school, they go on shoots, they help. I'm sure they learn a lot, and some of them, it makes them aware of what they wish to do. I was - that's the way I was - autodidact.
Agnes Varda
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
If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
Agnes Varda
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
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
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
I wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.
Agnes Varda
I never met Publo Picasso. I took pictures at the Festival d'Avignon, but I was too shy to ask to go in his studio. It does not look like me now, but I was very shy, and shy of men also. I think there was a world that frightened me totally.
Agnes Varda
In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.
Agnes Varda
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
Agnes Varda
