Director

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.

I make documentaries from time to time to remind myself of reality. It's like musicians doing scales to keep their fingers working: when you're in the street, listening to people, you're forced to be in the service of your subject.

I wore black until I was twenty-five, like many young people. Everybody did. It was crazy! But now, getting older, I think color does me good.

I am small. I was always small. But only physically.

My parents named me Arlette, and I changed it to Agnes when I was young. I didn't like it because I don't like names with 'ette' - you know, it looks like a little girl's name.

I've always loved polka dots. Ah, oui. It is a joyful shape, the polka dot. It is alive.

I am a woman. I think I have the spirit, the intelligence, and - dare I say - the soul of a woman.

Like everybody, I wanted to meet Andy Warhol. I was impressed by his work and how daring he was. I think he changed the cinema completely, simply by opening his camera and letting it go.

I saw 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' when it came out, didn't like it too much. I found she was stupid.

Sometimes I do things that are not really the right way because I'm daring, in a way.

I don't want to become a serious, annoying sociologist. I try to regard sociology as a part of everyday life.

I enjoy the time passing. I think it's a privilege to be in friendship with time.
