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.

More quotes by Agnes Varda

Image
The freedom he gave himself to work and change shape and change ideas and work all the time with joy, the joy of painting was in [Publo] Picasso, which I found beautiful.
Agnes Varda
Image
I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!
Agnes Varda
Image
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
Image
My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.
Agnes Varda
Image
I don't try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers. Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
Agnes Varda
Image
It's a way of living, sharing things with people who work with me, and they seem to enjoy it.
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.
Agnes Varda
Image
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
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
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
Image
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
Agnes Varda
Image
If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.
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
I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.
Agnes Varda
Image
It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.
Agnes Varda
Image
I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.
