Personal Quote:

Anyone who lives, as I do, in a world of imagination must make an enormous and unnatural effect to be factual in the ordinary sense.

I feel compelled to a story the way I see it and this is seldom the way it happened, in all its documentary detail. See more »

Trivia:

The Broadway musical "Sweet Charity" was inspired by Fellini's Oscar-winning film, Nights of Cabiria. See more »
