A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

If I'm a cruel satirist at least I'm not a hyprocrite: I never judge what other people do. Neither a politician nor a priest, I never censor what others do. Neither a philospher nor a psychiatrist, I never bother trying to analyze or resolve my fears and neuroses.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

~ Federico Fellini Quote

No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite.

Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a bank account of shared memories. It's not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don't have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs.
~ Federico Fellini Quote

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 the rest of it.
~ Federico Fellini Quote
