More quotes by Federico Fellini
The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything.
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
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
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
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
According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
Federico Fellini
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.
Federico Fellini
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
Federico Fellini
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
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
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
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
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
You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
Nothing is more honest than a dream.
Federico Fellini
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
Federico Fellini
Nothing is sadder than laughter nothing more beautiful, more magnificent, more uplifting and enriching than the terror of deep despair.
Federico Fellini
