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
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.
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
When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!
Agnes Varda
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
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
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 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.
Agnes Varda
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
I thought, If I'm an ancestor and grandmother when I'm twenty-five, I should go peacefully to the real time when I'm an ancestor and a grandmother.
Agnes Varda
I waited for each film to become important for me. If I had no ideas for a film, I didn't do a film. So I made not that many films for fifty-four years of working.
