More quotes by Federico Fellini
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
Federico Fellini
All art is autobiographical.
Federico Fellini
The visionary is the only realist.
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
According to the doctors, I'm only suffering from a light form of premature baldness.
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
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
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
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
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
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Federico Fellini
Nothing is sadder than laughter nothing more beautiful, more magnificent, more uplifting and enriching than the terror of deep despair.
Federico Fellini
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
Federico Fellini
You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Federico Fellini
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Federico Fellini
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
Federico Fellini
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
Peellaert's comic strips were the literature of intelligence, imagination and romanticism.
Federico Fellini
