I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.
Agnes Varda
Image
To share a lot of ideas - not ideas - emotions, a way of looking at people, a way of looking at life. If it can be shared, it means there is a common denominator.

Image
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.

Image
I had flops, I had success.
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
Image
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
Agnes Varda
Image
Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It's just going through my body of work as something I can pick from.
Agnes Varda
Image
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
Image
I had a world. I don't think I had a career. I made films.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
Image
I call [ordinary people] real people, because they have in themselves an incredible treasure - stories, a way of speaking, a way of sharing, an innocence and a perversity which I find very interesting to discover little by little.
Agnes Varda
Image
If you know nothing, it could be like an enemy in a way. I think that's the way I felt when I was young.
Agnes Varda
Image
I made a braid because Chinese old people, they say that the God will take you by the hair to join you with - but God didn't take me, so I cut the braid.
Agnes Varda
Image
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.
