More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
When the bull's-eye becomes as big in your mind as an elephant, you are sure to hit it.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Every person has a talent, but not the same one. Every person has to discover his personal talent and go with his talent. And then you are you, and what you do, you do because you love what you do, not because you want to be famous or because you're making money. You do the work because you love it.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If you are great, 'El Topo' is a great picture. If you are limited, 'El Topo' is limited.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It's coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
One becomes wise only in measures, as he goes through his own insanity.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My writing routine is everyday I put a record on, the same one since 20 years. Then I burn a stick of incense, I put perfume here on the insides of my soles, I paint my left testicle red, and I write.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You need to fight in order to count. Don't be afraid to believe the impossible and then fight with yourself to ameliorate yourself. Do it. Believe in yourself. Let a good seed be a good seed now, and then we'll have a good tree.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For art to be art it has to cure.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You can't have a masterpiece without madness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
The world is how we see the world. Some people see the world good, the other people see the world bad. Every person has an idea of the world with a subjective [viewpoint].
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
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
One does not go to the theater to escape from himself, but to reestablish contact with the mystery that we all are.
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
The planet is ill, everyone knows that. But I need to be optimistic, otherwise I would just be adding to the negativity. So every night I come on Madrid TV and read a piece of good news.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.
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
