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.

More quotes by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I hate superficial violence. It's shallow and stupid, and the impact on the audience is really bad.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Every time that I'm challenged with a film I think that I haven't learned anything, that every film is different and that every thing that I have learned is useless in this new adventure.
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
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
Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.
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 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
All people know that they will die, but they don't actually believe it.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.
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 like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.
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 made commercials for corporations like Volkswagen and Coca-Cola, but I was always the one to write them, too, which was a very good exercise, because I learned to tell little stories.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
One of the reasons why I agreed to do commercials is that they gave me complete freedom. I just had to have the car in it and write a story around it. I wanted to do something serious set in a Latin American country, but again, it was an exercise in style for me.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
You hear about bombings in other countries, or numbers like 10,000 people died - you hear that number and you think, Well, I saw that yesterday in a film, and that didn't look so bad. Younger viewers, in particular, lose perspective on reality.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
All my films have always been released in the autumn, maybe because they're more melancholy to people.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.
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
