More quotes by 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
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
If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'
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
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 really believe there is the possibility of something great that can happen in the right hands.

What's the point of being an Australian guy traveling through India if you are going to go to India to meet other Australians?

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 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 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
I have to confess that I don't read much of what is written about me.
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
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
We're born first humans then after they stamp our passport.
Alfonso Cuaron
I love L.A. I always have such a great time in L.A. The way I kind of define me and L.A. is the noise of the factory doesn't let me sleep well.
Alfonso Cuaron
I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again.
Alfonso Cuaron
I think it's always important to give immediate positive reinforcement.
Alfonso Cuaron
When I learned to switch jealousy for admiration, it unblocked a lot of things.
