Additional quotes by Federico Fellini

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

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.
