More quotes by Federico Fellini
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
Federico Fellini
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
Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
Federico Fellini
As a writer and director, I want to know what is behind the good manners and soft voice. Who is inside the silhouette?
Federico Fellini
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
Federico Fellini
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
Federico Fellini
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
Federico Fellini
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
Federico Fellini
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
Federico Fellini
Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks. Imposing another time powered by the Clock of the Imagination, however, can refuse his law. Here, freed of the Grim Reaper's scythe, we learn that pain is knowledge and all knowledge pain.
Federico Fellini
Reality! But what does this word mean? Each has his own reality. I draw upon my personal reality upon the dark side of myself, my unconscious.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
Our duty as storytellers is to bring people to the station. There each person will choose his or her own train...But we must at least take them to the station...to a point of departure.
Federico Fellini
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
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
I claim the right to contradict myself. I don't want to deprive myself of the right to talk nonsense, and I ask humbly to be allowed to be wrong sometimes.
Federico Fellini
