More quotes by 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
Somebody said to me, in a very well-meaning way, at a screening, We love the movie but it's too violent. If you tone down the violence you could reach a great audience of kids..
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
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.
Guillermo del Toro
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
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
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
Guillermo del Toro
I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.
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
I feel that your ambitions should always exceed the budget. That no matter what budget you're doing, you should be dreaming bigger than the budget you have, and then it's a matter of reigning it in to the reality. You try to make things count.
Guillermo del Toro
The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7.
Guillermo del Toro
With every movie I produce, I learn something. I watch the directors. It's like the relationship you have with your children. I'm there to learn from my daughters. They are the perfect spirits.
Guillermo del Toro
There are times when you are in despair, because in order not to betray who you are, you don't compromise, you don't make movies that would be very lucrative or prestigious or easily understood. And yet I stay attached to the most uncanny premises. It's never been easy.
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
...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
Guillermo del Toro
I don't want to move over to Beverly Hills. My goal is to make the movies I want to make and support the people I want to support. That's it.
Guillermo del Toro
Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined
Guillermo del Toro
Genius is the true mystery, and at its edge--the abyss.
Guillermo del Toro
It’s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.
Guillermo del Toro
With supernatural things, I have heard ghosts, but I've never seen ghosts. I do seek ghosts and I would love to see one, but I would crap my pants.
Guillermo del Toro
