More quotes by Agnes Varda
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
Agnes Varda
I don't try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers. Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.
Agnes Varda
People like my films. They understand me through my films it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.
Agnes Varda
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
Agnes Varda
Sometimes I want to work with a DP, sometimes I want to work myself. I go to 35mm, 16mm, it's all the same, but it depends on what you want to tell and what are the tools you need.
Agnes Varda
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
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 think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.
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
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
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
[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
Nostalgia doesn't make sense, because it's like bringing the memories back to be a special part of my day or to be part of my week. And I'm inside my memories the same way I'm inside my everyday life.
Agnes Varda
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
Agnes Varda
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
Agnes Varda
I was a photographer first.I worked alone. I did it my way as much as I could. I have been sort of courageous about doing things, because I didn't think I should do less than my brothers.
Agnes Varda
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
Agnes Varda
If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
Agnes Varda
My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
Agnes Varda
It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.
Agnes Varda
