More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
You can't have a masterpiece without madness.
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
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
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
The first thing I didn't understand was my life. It's a mystery. And today I don't understand economy or politics. I don't know why politics or economy are destroying the world, but I will understand after understanding.
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
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest.
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
I never know if my picture is a good picture or a bad picture, because I'm not making pictures thinking of the public, I'm making pictures to realize myself.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
People say I am mad. I am not mad. I am trying to heal my soul.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't want to make a style. Not tragedy, not comedy. Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.
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
We all exist in our own personal reality of craziness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.
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
Humanity are not individuals we are collective. And if we have difference, we have wars all the time. We have crisis. We need to open our mind. This is the only solution we have.
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
I was raping Frank Herbert, but with love.
