More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
You are excrement. You can change yourself into gold.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I grew up in the north of Chile, and this is why there are a lot of religious symbols in my pictures, because the Catholic Church in Latin America is very strong. If I was born in Japan, I would speak about Buddhism, but I was born in South America.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Birds born in cages think that flying is a disease.
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
Terrorists are not bad they are limited by circumstances. They are human beings. I am very, very, very sad when they explode themselves and kill 40 to 60 persons. It's terrible. But also, I am sad for them, a young person who lost his whole life. It's terrible. They are limited by religion, by politics, by economical interests.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
When you put a great amount of energy and hope in a big project, you can be destroyed if you don't do it. But myself, I say: To fail is only to see the way to fail.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I wanted to make a film that gave the people who took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating.
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
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
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
You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.
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
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
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
Most directors make films with their eyes I make films with my testicles.
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
My father was a monster. A monster! I cut with my family when I was 23 and I never see them again.
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
For art to be art it has to cure.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Movies are movement. A comic-book is immobility. From one still picture to another, but no movement. You need to make the movement in your head. In the movies, you see the movement. It's different. What is the same is the mind of the creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
