More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
People say I am mad. I am not mad. I am trying to heal my soul.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Every artist - even if they do Superman, they do Batman, and things like that - they are speaking about his life. Every person, every artist makes his life an artwork.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If art is not a medicine for the society, it is a poison.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't see myself as a moviemaker only, you know? When I can do a picture, I do. But I don't work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Don't make your living with cinema because Hollywood will take you, will eat you, will destroy you. This is the reality. You have a good picture, have success, you take the person and they destroy you.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
The mole is an animal that digs passages searching for the sun. Sometimes he reaches the surface. When he looks at the sun he goes blind.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Birds born in cages think that flying is a disease.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I shoot in Mexico, but I can shoot in India, anywhere. I have no nationality myself. My nationality is the planet.
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
Let the inner god that is in each one of us speak. The temple is your body, and the priest is your heart: it is from here that every awareness must begin.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You are engaging in madness. I feel obliged to accompany you.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Have a dream. Fight to do a dream. Don't ask if it is possible to do something or if not possible. Try to do it!
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My father was a monster. A monster! I cut with my family when I was 23 and I never see them again.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
It's very difficult to live with religious ideas. I can't compare religion to the movies. I can fuse them.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I dont believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now its from another century, its not for today.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
One becomes wise only in measures, as he goes through his own insanity.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Movies have heart. Have mind. Have power. Have ambition.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
