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.

More quotes by 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 think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
Agnes Varda
I think people should be different. I love people who don't go by the rule that you have to be careful because you're old, you have to do this and that, you have to eat this and that.
Agnes Varda
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
Agnes Varda
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer. Women have to make jokes about themselves, laugh about themselves, because they have nothing to lose.
Agnes Varda
I had a very good time when I did The Gleaners - even though the people are poor, and I was suffering to see the conditions, and plus they are not such lovely hearts. They are tough to each other, they beat each other, they are rude and they are violent and they drink. They're not sweethearts, you know, but some were so interesting.
Agnes Varda
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
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 try to do nothing. I drink rosemary when I have a lot of work to do. People take coffee, they take speed, whatever. I take rosemary.
Agnes Varda
The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen.
Agnes Varda
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
Agnes Varda
I'm interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away.
Agnes Varda
I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That's what I try to do all the time.
Agnes Varda
I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
Agnes Varda
When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language.
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 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
In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.
Agnes Varda
