I guess I have a short attention span! I'm interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges.
Alfonso Cuaron
We're born first humans then after they stamp our passport.

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 think it's always important to give immediate positive reinforcement.

Learn from your experience shooting your film, and then move on to the next.

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.

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.

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.

When I finish a movie, I don’t ever see the movie again. The moment I finish the color correction and the mix, I never seen any of my movies ever again. I just try to explore what I can learn from the experience and move on.

I find it very stupid that teenagers could only see caricatures of teenagers but they couldn't see films that you try to be a truthful context, a truthful portrayal of teenagers.
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
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
I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.
Alfonso Cuaron
As a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. And my own passion was that I wanted to be a film director. I realized that being an astronaut was not going to be an option, so I said, Well, I'm going to be a director and do films in space.
Alfonso Cuaron
I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again.
Alfonso Cuaron
Story is important but the most important is the theme and how you're going to convey theme cinematically. I'm a believer also.
Alfonso Cuaron
I was not aware of how much I loved 'Canoa' until I saw it after doing 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and realized that my voice - over about the story's historical context - that narrator - came from 'Canoa'.
Alfonso Cuaron
If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'

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.
