When I first saw a Fellini movie, I came out of the movie theatre and decided to become a lawyer! I thought to myself, it's impossible to make something so beautiful!

I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, a little village in Italy. They gave me the biggest gift: poverty.

What is more simple than to tell to a little boy, 'This is not the truth, it is a game?'

Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn't allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown - very much.

My mother brought me magicians and witches, because I was very ugly, really revolting. So she thought somebody had put a spell on me - this is the truth - so she made me drink some horrible terrifying potions, for year.

Fellini belongs to nature.

My mother and my father went to the cinema for the first time when I made my first movie in 1978.
