More quotes by Alfonso Cuaron
I think it's always important to give immediate positive reinforcement.
Alfonso Cuaron
It's a cliche, but Americans are puritanical. In their movies, they are scared of sex, but they overindulge in violence. I could have cut a G-rated version of 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' that would have pleased the American ratings board, but it would have been five minutes long.
Alfonso Cuaron
I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again.
Alfonso Cuaron
A lot of the films I like are more than fantasies - they're movies fascinated by the technology of space exploration, and they try to honor the laws of physics. I watched the Gregory Peck movie 'Marooned' over and over when I was a kid.
Alfonso Cuaron
We're born first humans then after they stamp our passport.
Alfonso Cuaron
I left Mexico for artistic survival. If I had stayed, I would have been forced by the government, who control the movie business, to direct TV shows or commercials or infomercials for the government.

Every film is difficult. Making films, you're always going to have problems, there's always going to be challenges.
Alfonso Cuaron
Learn from your experience shooting your film, and then move on to the next.
Alfonso Cuaron
I produce the way I would love to be produced: In ways to create the best conditions to make your movie, but also to create a space in which the director calls the shots.
Alfonso Cuaron
Style is just an impression. Style itself is hollow. Style, its ok style as long as it is part of a language. Style for style itself is just something very hollow.
Alfonso Cuaron
I love that process in which there is no safety net. Then the actor also can allow mistakes, because there's no such a thing as a mistake. You're working with good actors, that thing that starts as a mistake becomes actually the life of what is going to follow in the scene. I find that it is fantastic, and for me it is easier than for the actors.
Alfonso Cuaron
There is a certain thing that you have to just stick to the plan, stick to what you want to do, and you try to work with studios and executives that they get it.
Alfonso Cuaron
I have to say, 'Gravity' is better in 3-D, even though in 2-D the quality of the picture is better. But the 3-D is better.
Alfonso Cuaron
When you strip hope from people, it leaves a void, and that void needs to be filled. And very likely, that void is going to be filled by an ideology... Hope and faith are so connected. Now, when ideology connects with faith, the ideology becomes an item of faith, not a point of discussion.
Alfonso Cuaron
You have to be very focused about the music that you have inside.
Alfonso Cuaron
I have my misgivings about 3-D. I don't like the lack of blacks and whites, how it dulls the image, how the color gets corrupted. I don't necessarily like the experience of having heavy glasses in front of me.
Alfonso Cuaron
What's the point of being an Australian guy traveling through India if you are going to go to India to meet other Australians?
Alfonso Cuaron
I learned there's an amazing unexplored territory in terms of narrative. Before, I thought the unexplored territory was the form, the way you shoot a movie. Now, I'm learning about the beautiful marriage between form and narrative.
Alfonso Cuaron
The great thing about the moon landing is that my grandmother got the first color TV in order to be able to see the moon landing that was in black and white.
Alfonso Cuaron
The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
