It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.
I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.
The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous.
