People like my films. They understand me through my films it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
Image
You have to invent life.
Agnes Varda
Image
You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles.
Agnes Varda
Image
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
Agnes Varda
Image
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
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.

Image
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
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.
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
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
Image
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
Image
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
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.

Image
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
