Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.
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
One does not go to the theater to escape from himself, but to reestablish contact with the mystery that we all are.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
What is an artistic picture? An artistic picture is very simple. The creator is not the producer. The creator is not the star. The creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. The creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. That is an artistic picture.
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
I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs.
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
In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.
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
Most directors make films with their eyes I make films with my testicles.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If the picture is not an artistic picture, it's show, like television. Television series are very funny, but it's a collective production. An industrial art. A car is not made by a person, it's made by a group of creators, only to go to the market to buy your cigarettes. That is a car - they are not a big art, they are a little art.
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
I am not a normal person. I am living in a normal body, but my mind is not normal.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If art is not a medicine for the society, it is a poison.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
We all exist in our own personal reality of craziness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My wife is 37 years younger than me. I don't feel the difference.
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
Maybe if literature was prohibited the same way as cocaine, people out of pure curiosity would try to get a couple of lines
