Image
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite.
Federico Fellini
Image
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
Federico Fellini
Image
All art is autobiographical.
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
You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini
Image
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
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
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
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.

Image
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Image
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.
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
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
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
Image
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
Federico Fellini
Image
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
Image
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
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
A different language is a different vision 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.
