More quotes by 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
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
In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the flesh– whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perish– thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust.
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
It’s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.
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
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
I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others
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
There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.
Guillermo del Toro
You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

My life is a suitcase. I am the traveling Mexican.
Guillermo del Toro
I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.
Guillermo del Toro
You can't explain success in retrospect. The moment you leap into the void, that moment is impossible to negate, after success.
Guillermo del Toro
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
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 have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Guillermo del Toro
Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined
Guillermo del Toro
For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.
