More quotes by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I was a street kid, basically. But really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I've always found my way through it in different ways.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I personally can't handle frivolous violence. I overreact to it.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Maybe next year the government might impose some immigration rules on the academy. Two Mexicans in a row is suspicious. [On Mexican immigrants in the US] I hope they can be treated with respect of the ones who came before and built this incredible immigrant nation.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
When I went to university, I finally got exposed to European films, and they had a strong impact on me. I felt those films had a lot of things to say that weren't getting expressed in the films I was used to seeing.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
It's more enjoyable for me to know that life is finite. Knowing that, I would like to go to a party.

I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
All my films have always been released in the autumn, maybe because they're more melancholy to people.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I just wanted to show the migrants as complex humans with flaws and weakness, with good and bad things, and show that they're parents and family men. I wanted to show them with everything, as they are.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I never deny a true experience in one shot.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I think the arts should get big support, but my country has a lot of needs more important than film. Medication, education, food... The poverty is overwhelming. There are simply more important things to be attended to.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I hate superficial violence. It's shallow and stupid, and the impact on the audience is really bad.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
The way America sees Mexico, if they have any sense of it, is like Taco Bell. Our countries are neighbors, and the only hard food to get in America is true Mexican. It's impossible to find, even in L.A. Why is that?
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Mexico City is very different now than when I grew up, but I was in the streets all the time - though I was born to a middle-class neighborhood where there weren't a lot of gangs and things. I was always comfortable.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I saw what I could [in Mexico City], but we rarely got anything other than big, mainstream American films.
