More quotes by 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
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
I've changed my approach to people and to filming because of the new equipment, which is important.
Agnes Varda
I had flops, I had success.
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 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
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
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
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 should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.
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 peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
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
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
There is a song of Gainsbourg that Jane Birkin sang, and the words are beautiful in French. It says, Le jeu et les moi. It's impossible to translate, because it has a very nice sound. It sounds so lovely in French. So I took that because it was the subject: I and myself and myself and I. Which is, in a way, boring, because it is a contradictio
Agnes Varda
Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.
Agnes Varda
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
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Sometimes I want to work with a DP, sometimes I want to work myself. I go to 35mm, 16mm, it's all the same, but it depends on what you want to tell and what are the tools you need.
