Quotes
"“My relationship with my body has changed. I used to consider it as a servant who should obey, function, give pleasure. In sickness, you realise that you are not the boss. It is the other way around.” (Federico Fellini)
"“A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together.” (Federico Fellini)
"“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.” (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)
"“I’d like very much to make a confident picture. I would like to be as good as nature, which, with a shower, produces flowers and grass to cover the destruction. But we are surrounded by human fragmentation, by pessimism, and it is difficult to talk of other things.” (Federico Fellini)
