Guillermo del Toro
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.

The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
Guillermo del Toro
I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.

I'm a movement Nazi. It used to be my way before. Now, in the last three projects. I found a way to let the actors find their comfort and still find the precision in the show. It's a change in me.
Guillermo del Toro
I don't try to define the cosmos, I know it's unknowable, but I can understand my place in the world and my place in the universe through a mixture of Taoism, Catholicism, Zen or whatever I have at hand.
Guillermo del Toro
I have fat-guy syndrome. If they give me $50 million to make a movie, I'll try to make it look like it cost a hundred. If they give me $60 million, I'll try to make it look like it cost $120.
Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro
I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books, but I'd love to do one where one of the kids dies, or one of the main characters dies. I love for those things to have a little bit more tragedy.
Guillermo del Toro
You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.
Guillermo del Toro
What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.
Guillermo del Toro
Survival often feels like an indignity.
Guillermo del Toro
When I stage a violent scene, I try for it to serve a purpose. I do love those things, the makeup effects. But I love them more with the monsters. I never was much of a gore guy. I've always enjoyed just creating monsters.
Guillermo del Toro
Night is real. Night is not an absence of light, but in fact, it is daytime that is a brief respite from the looming darkness.
Guillermo del Toro
It's the difference between a parable and a pamphlet. A parable discusses things that are relevant in the past, the future, and the present - regardless of the outcome in the present. A pamphlet, on the other hand, is completely concerned with affecting an outcome in the present, the most immediate present.
Guillermo del Toro
You have to believe the magic to see it.
Guillermo del Toro
I think when you get all the money and all the freedom, rarely do you get a good movie out of it or a movie that you're proud of.
