Agnes Varda Quotes

I cannot say something different to one person and then another Picture Quote #1

I had a world. I don’t think I had a career. I made films Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women; I don’t even want to meet them or see them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’d been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that’s part of being shy Picture Quote #1

Gleaning is getting things that are abandoned. I did not abandon my early pictures, my photos, my early films. It’s just going through my body of work as something I can pick from Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I know people could tell incredible stories. People have been in concentration camps, or women being raped, or a man going to war and not recovering from it. People have been robbed and beaten. A lot of people have had strong events in their life, which I didn’t Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don’t want time to come back Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling Picture Quote #1

I should say nothing! I’m through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time Picture Quote #1

When I saw what painting had done in the last thirty years, what literature had done - people like Joyce and Virginia Woolf, Faulkner and Hemingway - in France we have Nathalie Sarraute - and paintings became so strongly contemporary while cinema was just following the path of theater. I have to do something which relates with my time, and in my time, we make things differently Picture Quote #1

Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer Picture Quote #1

I live in cinema. I feel I’ve lived here forever Picture Quote #1

I should say nothing! I’m through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1
