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 am like the rain, I go where I'm needed.
Alejandro Jodorowsky

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
For art to be art it has to cure.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Birds born in cages think that flying is a disease.

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
