It's interesting work for me to tell my life, as a possibility for other people to relate it to themselves - not so much to learn about me.

More quotes by Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
I know people could tell incredible stories. People have been in concentration camps, or women being raped, or a man going to war and not recovering from it. People have been robbed and beaten. A lot of people have had strong events in their life, which I didn't.
Agnes Varda
This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.
Agnes Varda
The freedom he gave himself to work and change shape and change ideas and work all the time with joy, the joy of painting was in [Publo] Picasso, which I found beautiful.
Agnes Varda
I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women I don't even want to meet them or see them.
Agnes Varda
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
I go back to many films that I really love. Some Bresson, some Godard of the early times, the Cassavetes of those years I love. And the early Wim Wenders. But my own films I don't watch, unless I need them.
Agnes Varda
I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That's what I try to do all the time.
Agnes Varda
[Pablo] Picasso really changed my life. It's strange to say so, but I started to see some Picasso paintings very early. I was very young, and he was not so much known.
Agnes Varda
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
I had flops, I had success.
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
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 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 live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
Agnes Varda
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
Agnes Varda
I've changed my approach to people and to filming because of the new equipment, which is important.
Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
