Nothing is more honest than a dream.
Federico Fellini
Image
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.

Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
Federico Fellini

The beauty of life are women, no one loves them as much as me. I adore them all, the ugly, the beautiful, the cold, the sexy and especially those that are from cinema material, shadow and light.
Federico Fellini

According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
Federico Fellini
Image
Freedom, especially a woman's freedom, is a conquest to be made, not a gift to be received. It isn't granted. It must be taken.
Federico Fellini
Image
All art is autobiographical.
Federico Fellini
Image
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
Federico Fellini
Image
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
Federico Fellini
Image
You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini
Image
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
Image
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
Federico Fellini
Image
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
Federico Fellini
Image
The visionary is the only realist.
Federico Fellini
Image
As a writer and director, I want to know what is behind the good manners and soft voice. Who is inside the silhouette?
