Federico Fellini's quotes

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
My work is my only relationship to everything.
You exist only in what you do.
In the myth of the cinema, Oscar is the supreme prize.
In the mythology of the cinema, the Oscar is the supreme prize.
Our dreams are our real life. My fantasies and obsessions are not only my reality, but the stuff of which my films are made.
You have to live spherically--in many directions. To accept yourself for what you are without inhibitions, to be open.
Put yourself into life and never lose your openness, your childish enthusiasm throughout the journey that is life, and things will come your way.
It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.
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.
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from another.
Happiness is simply a temporary condition that proceeds unhappiness. Fortunately for us, it works the other way around as well. But it's all a part of the carnival, isn't it.
[on Akira Kurosawa] I think he is the greatest example of all that an author of the cinema should be. I feel a fraternal affinity with his way of telling a story.
No doubt there's a connection between pathology and creation, we can't deny it. Yet I view with pleasure the work of film professionals I love, such as Bunuel, Kurosawa, Kubrick, Bergman.
With the death of Sergei Parajanov cinema lost one of its magicians. (July, 1990)
The visionary is the only true realist.
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
Our duty as storytellers is to bring people to the station. There each person will choose his or her own train... But we must at least take them to the station... to a point of departure.
