More quotes by 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
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 live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
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
I've changed my approach to people and to filming because of the new equipment, which is important.
Agnes Varda
I wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.
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
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
Agnes Varda
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
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 think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
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
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
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
I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!
Agnes Varda
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
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 had flops, I had success.
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.
