Agnes Varda
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
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
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
Agnes Varda

Agnes Varda
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
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.
Agnes Varda
I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
Agnes Varda
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.
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.

You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
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 .
