More quotes by Alfonso Cuaron
If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'
Alfonso Cuaron
As a director, you're only as good as your collaborators. You surround with collaborators that are going to understand what you're trying to do. Not only that, they're going to push and fight for what you're trying to do.
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
Every film is difficult. Making films, you're always going to have problems, there's always going to be challenges.
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
I think it is something that is so important, to be very aware of the direction in which the 21st century is going with all this blind faith in democracy. And by the way, I am not against democracy - I am against the blind faith that is being put in democracy.
Alfonso Cuaron
Historically, there is a fight between the sound designer and the composer. You see them in the mixing room and they're always fighting because the composer wants the music to be heard and the sound designer wants the sound to be heard.
Alfonso Cuaron
Technology is technology. Technology doesn't have a, it is not good or bad. Technologies are tools.
Alfonso Cuaron
When I learned to switch jealousy for admiration, it unblocked a lot of things.
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'm interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges. I always said the only reason to make a film is not for the result but for what you learn for the next one.
Alfonso Cuaron
When you work with kids, people tell you to be very delicate, but that's the last thing you should do with kids. They feel patronized if you're like that. They just want you to be normal.
Alfonso Cuaron
The two real leads in 'Children of Men' are Clive Owen and the social environment. You know, this same movie without the social environment maybe is just like a generic chase movie.
Alfonso Cuaron
No 'rules.' What are you, British or something? I guess I'm too nice... No wonder people take advantage of me.
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
The long takes process doesn't allow for that many takes. In the past I have shot over 50 takes of different shots. Sometimes you end up using take 64, sometimes take four.
Alfonso Cuaron
The most important thematics in humanity I think that are completely universal and completely relatable from one person to the other. As long as, one more time going to back to the thematic, as long as you're truthful to that thematic, you can trust that that is going to transcend.
Alfonso Cuaron
I think it's always important to give immediate positive reinforcement.
Alfonso Cuaron
I really believe there is the possibility of something great that can happen in the right hands.
Alfonso Cuaron
We're born first humans then after they stamp our passport.
