Federico Fellini
Image
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
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
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

A creator always needs excuses.

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
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.
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
Image
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Federico Fellini
Image
Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it.
Federico Fellini
Image
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

Nothing is more honest than a dream.
Federico Fellini
Image
The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything.

Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.

It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
