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
I think the art of filmmaking is something you learn through actions, by doing it, not by learning theories. And as you do it, your mind starts to change.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am not a normal person. I am living in a normal body, but my mind is not normal.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Movies have heart. Have mind. Have power. Have ambition.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
The only thing a master can teach is how to learn about yourself. There are no secrets. They are only techniques to waken yourself.
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
My consciousness is without limits more than when I was 40 or 50.
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
