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
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
Peellaert's comic strips were the literature of intelligence, imagination and romanticism.
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
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
A creator always needs excuses.
Federico Fellini
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from the other.
Federico Fellini
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
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
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
You exist only in what you do.
Federico Fellini
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
Federico Fellini
A different language is a different vision of life.
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
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
Federico Fellini
The greatest danger for artists is total freedom.
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
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
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
Federico Fellini
