More quotes by Agnes Varda
I had flops, I had success.
Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
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
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
Agnes Varda
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
Agnes Varda
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
Some people meet each other again only when I'm there!
Agnes Varda
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda

Agnes Varda

Agnes Varda
You have to invent life.
Agnes Varda

Agnes Varda
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.
Agnes Varda
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
The first exhibition [Publo Picasso] was organized by the communist party - because of his position during the war and all that.
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
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
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
