Quote

I've seen many films, and many beautiful films. And I try to keep a certain level of quality of my films. I don't do commercials, I don't do films pre-prepared by other people, I don't do star system. So I do my own little thing.

Image
I didn't go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom.
Agnes Varda
Image
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
Agnes Varda
Image
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
Agnes Varda
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
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.

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 cannot say something different to one person and then another.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
Agnes Varda
Image
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
Image
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
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 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
Image
I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.
Agnes Varda
Image
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.
Agnes Varda
Image
I don't watch my own films. There is little time I'd rather see another film.
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
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
Sometimes I say, If I had seen some masterpieces, maybe I wouldn't have dared start. I started very - not innocent, but naïve in a way.
Agnes Varda
Image
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.
