I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Image
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
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.
Federico Fellini
Image
Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Image
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
Image
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
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
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
Image
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
Image
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.
