More quotes by Federico Fellini
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
Federico Fellini
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
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
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
Federico Fellini
The visionary is the only realist.
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
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.
Federico Fellini
All art is autobiographical.
Federico Fellini
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
Don't tell me what I'm doing I don't want to know.
Federico Fellini
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
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
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
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
The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything.
Federico Fellini
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
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
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
