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
I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.
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
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
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
A man doesn't cry. In my life, I've never cried. I cannot do it. I am a man. How will I cry?
Alejandro Jodorowsky
When the bull's-eye becomes as big in your mind as an elephant, you are sure to hit it.
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
Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.
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
Alejandro Jodorowsky
This is the thing: Art is more important than making a show, something that amuses people. Art is something that needs to give to the public, to the actors, to the artist - to give something that makes life the paradise it can be. Life can be a paradise. Still, I believe that. Even if there is Trump, there can be a paradise.
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
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
My father was a monster. A monster! I cut with my family when I was 23 and I never see them again.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
