Federico Fellini
All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet...maybe we could understand something.
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.
No matter what happens, always Keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.
Don't tell me what I'm doing; I don't want to know.
Life is a combination of magic and pasta.
A different language is a different vision of life.
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
We must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should learn to love each other so much to live outside of time... detached.
Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.
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.
