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
What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one. Its this in-between…this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one — which is really the realm of the artist. – Federico Fellini
Experience is what you get while looking for something else. – Federico Fellini
Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you cant teach old fleas new dogs. – Federico Fellini
