Spaghetti à la Fellini

A journalist might ... say, "What was your intention in creating Spaghetti à la Fellini?" and I can't just answer, "I was hungry." ... So I invent an elaborate fiction about Escoffier appearing to me in a visitation.... The truth is, I can't explain why I make films. I just like to create images. ... It's congenial to my nature -- Federico Fellini
