Alejandro Jodorowsky
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest.

Religion is too old now its from another century, its not for today.
Alejandro Jodorowsky

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
Don't make your living with cinema because Hollywood will take you, will eat you, will destroy you. This is the reality. You have a good picture, have success, you take the person and they destroy you.
