More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
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
When you shoot in America, you have huge beams of sunlight in the windows, very vivid sunlight - it's faster in a way.
Guillermo del Toro
I think part of making movies is dealing with restrictions of freedom and budget. I'd rather deal with restrictions of budget. It's better to feel free within any budget.
Guillermo del Toro
For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.
Guillermo del Toro
I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.
Guillermo del Toro
If film making is magic, there's a difference between close up magic and David Copperfield. If you're doing close up magic, which independent filmmakers do, it is a very delicate craft, interpersonal relationship, and being able to enrapture a very small audience.
Guillermo del Toro
When I see a short schedule, my question to the director is, are you really comfortable with this, or are you doing it to be a good boy? At the end, you only win the medal if the film is good, you don't win a medal if the movie is on time.
Guillermo del Toro
People tend to think that big things only happen to big people ... I think that is not true. The small decisions we make every day define who we are and define the world around us. ... But I bet to you there is a decision every day in your life where you affect somebody else.
Guillermo del Toro
Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined
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
I believe in man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world.
Guillermo del Toro
I find I'm waking up really early now, just to read. Waking up at ungodly hours. But I try to keep up, religiously. When I was a kid, it used to be a book a day. Then a book a week. Now it's like a book every two weeks. But I read every day.
Guillermo del Toro
I believe that pain can be a rite of passage into learning. I believe that the worse thing that can happen is the sin of banality and comfort. Those things are in my movies, but also my movies are quite the fruit of somebody who defines himself as an agnostic.
Guillermo del Toro
You think if you work hard enough, you can fix the precious things you've broken - rather than being careful with them in the first place.
Guillermo del Toro
When you have the intuition that there is something which is there, but out of the reach of your physical world, art and religion are the only means to get to it.
Guillermo del Toro
There are two types of producing deals, and I've had both. I've produced over 20 movies now. You are either watching in horror, as the cars take the curve in the grand prix, or you're enjoying it.
Guillermo del Toro
Survival often feels like an indignity.
Guillermo del Toro
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
Guillermo del Toro
I'm the freaky version of that superhero who says, wherever there is injustice, I shall be there. Whenever there is a difficult project, I'd like to be there.
Guillermo del Toro
There's something worse than not making a movie. It's doing it for the wrong reasons. Then you end up putting three, four, five years of your life into it and you come out with a thing that you're not proud of.
Guillermo del Toro
