I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.

Image
You are always in the world. Even in Vagabond. I am not on the road, I am not eating nothing. But in a way we all have a Mona. We all have inside ourselves a woman who walks alone on the road. In all women there is something in revolt that is not expressed.

Image
This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I didn't have a list of things I should do this year, next year, find a good novel, sign two stars and make a deal - because I think cinema should come from cinema. I never adapted anything. Beautiful books are beautiful books, that's it. I don't know why we should transform them.

I was free always. I could work without the money, to film this and that. But this is another point, because now I'm alone, and I can just use it when I want. I think the digital cameras have changed my view. Even though sometimes, including the installations that I show, I mix 35mm filming and video handmade.

You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles.

I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.

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
Image
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
Image
It's nice to think that we have in ourselves the energy. It's somewhere, but it's sleeping sometimes. I try to wake it up when I need it.

I never met Publo Picasso. I took pictures at the Festival d'Avignon, but I was too shy to ask to go in his studio. It does not look like me now, but I was very shy, and shy of men also. I think there was a world that frightened me totally.

To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.
Agnes Varda
Image
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
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.

I cannot say something different to one person and then another.

Image
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
Image
I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women I don't even want to meet them or see them.
Agnes Varda
Image
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!

I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
