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
Image
In a world where we are so pragmatic and materialistic, fear is the only emotion that allows even a sophisticated person to believe in something beyond.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
The only thing you can do as an artist is to come to the world, see what no one is doing, and leave behind one or two things that wouldn’t have happened without you.

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.

If you don't take it personally, the partnership between producers and directors is very intimate.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
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.

The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7.

When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.

Image
There is beautiful in the grotesque.

My life is a suitcase. I am the traveling Mexican.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
I am the nice adversary, the guy that's going to ask the tough questions and is not going to be happy with the quick answer.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
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
Image
For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.

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