More quotes by 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.
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
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.

It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.

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.

Agnes Varda
Image
I've seen many films, and many beautiful films. And I try to keep a certain level of quality of my films. I don't do commercials, I don't do films pre-prepared by other people, I don't do star system. So I do my own little thing.
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.

Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.

I had flops, I had success.

I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.

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

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.
