More quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
Every person has a talent, but not the same one. Every person has to discover his personal talent and go with his talent. And then you are you, and what you do, you do because you love what you do, not because you want to be famous or because you're making money. You do the work because you love it.
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
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 wanted to make a film that gave the people who took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For art to be art it has to cure.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
When you put a great amount of energy and hope in a big project, you can be destroyed if you don't do it. But myself, I say: To fail is only to see the way to fail.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Terrorists are not bad they are limited by circumstances. They are human beings. I am very, very, very sad when they explode themselves and kill 40 to 60 persons. It's terrible. But also, I am sad for them, a young person who lost his whole life. It's terrible. They are limited by religion, by politics, by economical interests.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
It's very difficult to live with religious ideas. I can't compare religion to the movies. I can fuse them.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, Is it half full or half empty? So I drank the water. No more problem.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You can't have a masterpiece without madness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My wife is 37 years younger than me. I don't feel the difference.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.
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
When the bull's-eye becomes as big in your mind as an elephant, you are sure to hit it.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I don't think of an actor. I think in the character, and then I search for the actor. Usually I'm thinking without names, because they will change my idea. No big egos. If I want egos - just mine. That is enough.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I grew up in the north of Chile, and this is why there are a lot of religious symbols in my pictures, because the Catholic Church in Latin America is very strong. If I was born in Japan, I would speak about Buddhism, but I was born in South America.
