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.

More quotes by Agnes Varda
Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.
Agnes Varda
This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.
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 should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
The freedom he gave himself to work and change shape and change ideas and work all the time with joy, the joy of painting was in [Publo] Picasso, which I found beautiful.
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
I was eighteen, this was back in '46, so we also had these very frightening images of soldiers in the streets of Paris. So the effect of war, plus my shyness, plus my lack of education - I was afraid of men, really. It changes later, but it took me a certain time to adjust.
Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.
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
If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
Agnes Varda
We need to find another way or another shape or an allegory or something that tells us more. Even Vagabond - it was a fiction but it was really a documentary. I mean, it has the texture of documentary. Even if I made up every line, it has the texture of being true.
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 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.
Agnes Varda
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
I don't try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers. Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.
Agnes Varda
I wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.
Agnes Varda
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
I cannot say something different to one person and then another.
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.
