David Lynch on Federico Fellini:
"I love Fellini. And we’ve got the same birthday, so if you believe in astrology . . . His is a totally different time, and an Italian take on life. But there’s something about his films. There’s a mood. They make you dream. They’re so magical and lyrical and surprising and inventive. The guy was unique. If you took his films away, there would be a giant chunk of cinema missing. There’s nothing else around like that. I like Bergman, but his films are so different. Sparse. Sparse dreams."
—David Lynch interviewed by Chris Rodley, published in "Lynch on Lynch" in 1997
