Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
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?
Federico Fellini
Image
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
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
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.

You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini

Federico Fellini
Image
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
Federico Fellini
Image
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
Image
Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen.
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
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
Image
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
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
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
