More quotes by 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 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
My writing routine is everyday I put a record on, the same one since 20 years. Then I burn a stick of incense, I put perfume here on the insides of my soles, I paint my left testicle red, and I write.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am like the rain, I go where I'm needed.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Words don't heal. Art heals!
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
I was raping Frank Herbert, but with love.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My consciousness is without limits more than when I was 40 or 50.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Let the inner god that is in each one of us speak. The temple is your body, and the priest is your heart: it is from here that every awareness must begin.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Failure doesn't mean anything, it just means changing paths.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I am not a normal person. I am living in a normal body, but my mind is not normal.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
We all exist in our own personal reality of craziness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.
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
Normality is to be different. Every person is a different person. And one day you need to be aware of your difference. Aware that you are not the same as the others. That is to be normal.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If you are great, 'El Topo' is a great picture. If you are limited, 'El Topo' is limited.
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
You are excrement. You can change yourself into gold.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
I want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
