    Frederico Fellini
     

     
    Most people want to think life has got some structure, form and that you can distinguish the past from the future, and the present. I don't think it's true, I think Fellini admits to that and allows all of these things to enter into the process. Faces always coming at you - he's got the money, he's got everything, but he doesn't know what he's doing and everyone's coming at him.  They're all wanting answers. They're all wanting something from him. I think one of the first times I was really aware of the camera as a partner in dance, because I think the film is like a dance. He shoots like a dancer would shoot. It's all moving, it's shifting. Things are coming in and out of frame. It's never still. It's what life always seems like to me. It always feels like the passage through life.

    I don't know. I think Fellini just told me things about my future. He told me about the process of life. He told me things about the process of life. He told me things about memory that seems true and honest and believable, even though he lies the  hole time. That's what I love about Fellini, he's a liar. He's a constant liar. He twists and distorts the truth.

                   Now whether any of us saw the world like Fellini showed us until he actually  made his films I don't know. I have that terrible feeling he opened our eyes to a world that was sitting there all alone. Those of us who followed could come and see the world that he saw.
