More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Every mind has another vision of reality. There is not a common reality. Every person thinks he is like the others, but every person is different, living in his own psychology.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Life is a way of perfection. You need to work on yourself. You become a good person. If you do your work you will discover sublime feelings.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Movies have an enormous power to open the mind and the heart and everything. You are sitting and seeing something moving in front of you, and then your mind goes into a trance. You are completely there. It's a real great art it's not only a business. It's to open the mind, to understand this mystery within reality. This is why we need it.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, Is it half full or half empty? So I drank the water. No more problem.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't live in France I live in myself.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't think of an actor. I think in the character, and then I search for the actor. Usually I'm thinking without names, because they will change my idea. No big egos. If I want egos - just mine. That is enough.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Most directors make films with their eyes I make films with my testicles.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Words don't heal. Art heals!
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
One does not go to the theater to escape from himself, but to reestablish contact with the mystery that we all are.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
When I was a young person I went to the university and I learned a rational language, to think with the left side of the brain. But in the right side of the brain you have intuition and imagination. Words are not the truth they indicate the way to go, but you need to go alone, in silence. Symbols have a language that kills the words.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Santa Sangre is the picture I love the best, myself, because El Topo and The Holy Mountain I made with my head, and Santa Sangre I made with my feelings, with my heart. It's an emotional picture. And it's more real for me, that picture.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For many years, I did pantomime with Marcel Marceau. I was a writer for him and got to know very well how to use the body for illustration. I wanted to do a mother without arms, but using the arms of her son in Santa Sangre. The tragedy should always have something funny. Something weird.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For art to be art it has to cure.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My wife is 37 years younger than me. I don't feel the difference.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
