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.

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.

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.

I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.

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.

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.

At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
Agnes Varda

The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.

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.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
Image
I don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue ... It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.

We need to find another way or another shape or an allegory or something that tells us more. Even Vagabond - it was a fiction but it was really a documentary. I mean, it has the texture of documentary. Even if I made up every line, it has the texture of being true.

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

Image
I'm still fighting. I don't know how much longer, but I'm still fighting a struggle, which is to make cinema alive and not just make another film.

I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
