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.

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.

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
Image
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.

I wanted to catch the problem of consumption, waste, poor people eating what we throw away, which is a big subject. But I didn't want to become a sociologue, an ethnographe, a serious thinker. I thought I should be free, even in a documentary which has a very serious subject.

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.

I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
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.

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.

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

I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.

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.

I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
