More quotes by Agnes Varda
You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles.
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
If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
Agnes Varda
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.
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 just didn't see films when I was young. I was stupid and naïve. Maybe I wouldn't have made films if I had seen lots of others maybe it would have stopped me.
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
You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.
Agnes Varda
Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better.
Agnes Varda
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
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'm interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away.
Agnes Varda
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
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 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.
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
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
People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
Agnes Varda
My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
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.
