More quotes by Federico Fellini
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
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
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
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything.
Federico Fellini
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
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
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
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
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
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
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
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
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Federico Fellini
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
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.
Federico Fellini
Nothing is more honest than a dream.
Federico Fellini
