I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
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 don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
Agnes Varda
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
I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.
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
I had a very good time when I did The Gleaners - even though the people are poor, and I was suffering to see the conditions, and plus they are not such lovely hearts. They are tough to each other, they beat each other, they are rude and they are violent and they drink. They're not sweethearts, you know, but some were so interesting.
Agnes Varda
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
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
Agnes Varda
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer. Women have to make jokes about themselves, laugh about themselves, because they have nothing to lose.
Agnes Varda
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
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
Agnes Varda
I had flops, I had success.
Agnes Varda
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
