According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
Federico Fellini
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
Federico Fellini
You see me in my most virile moment when you see me doing what I do. When I am directing, a special energy comes upon me. ... It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive. It is like having sex.
Federico Fellini
What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one... It’s this in-between that I’m calling a province, this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one - which is really the realm of the artist.
Federico Fellini
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

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.
Federico Fellini
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
Federico Fellini
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
Federico Fellini
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
Federico Fellini
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
Federico Fellini
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.
