Federico Fellini

"Iâ€™m just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. For me, itâ€™s far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even literature. Itâ€™s not just an art form; itâ€™s actually a new form of life, with its own rhythms, cadences, perspectives and transparencies. Itâ€™s my way of telling a story."

-- Federico Fellini

The fact of the matter is that that's nonsense. It's a lot of hard work.”

“Anarchy loves theatre. That's the whole point. People forget that. You have to laugh at the devil, not fight him. They'll always have more guns, they'll always have more bombs that go off with a bigger bang. No matter how revolting you become they'll always be willing to be more revolting to you. They've had so much more practice.”

“Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.”
“It's a form of violence, in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be - for what sake? Not health, not survival, no enjoyment of life but just so you could look pretty. I'm constantly telling girls all the time, 'Everything's airbrushed, everything's retouched. None of us look like that.”
“The answer isn't another pill. The answer is spinach”
