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.

More quotes by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I respect BMW for not interfering in these projects. They're just trying to support short films with their brand, which I think is great.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I remember, the first time I saw a [Andrei] Tarkovsky film, I was shocked by it. I didn't know what to do. I was fascinated, because suddenly I realized that film could have so many more layers to it than what I had imagined before. Then others, like Kurosawa and Fellini, were like a new discovery for me, another country.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius! And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it.
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 always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
The actors make the film. They're the ones that take this theoretical movie that's in your head and make it real. The success of a film is entirely on their shoulders. I admire them, because acting is such a difficult thing to do, and I personally can't understand it.
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
How can [actors] learn their lines and be honest in front of 30 people and all the lights? It makes me cry sometimes. I can't understand how they can be joking with me 30 seconds before, and 40 seconds later they're giving me all this incredible feeling.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I saw what I could [in Mexico City], but we rarely got anything other than big, mainstream American films.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I was aware of the possible biases you could get as a commercial director, like being too concerned about the technical aspects of the form rather than anything of substance. If you keep working in commercials, you can get trapped in a very superficial way of thinking. I always used commercials as an exercise for filmmaking, like going to the gym.
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
When you get to the holidays, if you think that the holidays will be forever, you just take it for granted. But, if you know that you have just three days at the beach, you will be so happy to be there, every day.
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
I never deny a true experience in one shot.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I understand when there's no money for the arts in the government, but it should maybe pressure private companies to support more filmmakers. These exhibition and distribution companies are huge, and there might be incentives for them to invest more in Mexican cinema.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
