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.

More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
The mole is an animal that digs passages searching for the sun. Sometimes he reaches the surface. When he looks at the sun he goes blind.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.
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
Birds born in cages think that flying is a disease.
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
You are engaging in madness. I feel obliged to accompany you.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't live in France I live in myself.
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
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
People say I am mad. I am not mad. I am trying to heal my soul.
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
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
I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Words don't heal. Art heals!
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Have a dream. Fight to do a dream. Don't ask if it is possible to do something or if not possible. Try to do it!
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
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
I never know if my picture is a good picture or a bad picture, because I'm not making pictures thinking of the public, I'm making pictures to realize myself.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You are excrement. You can change yourself into gold.
