More quotes by Federico Fellini
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
Federico Fellini
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Federico Fellini
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
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
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
Federico Fellini
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
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Federico Fellini
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
Federico Fellini
The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything.
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
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
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
Federico Fellini
God may not play dice but he enjoys a good round of Trivial Pursuit every now and again.
Federico Fellini
Nothing is more honest than a dream.
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
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
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
A different language is a different vision of life.
Federico Fellini
