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
Image
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things

Image
My favorite novel in the world is Frankenstein. I'm going to misquote it horribly, but the monster says, I have such love in me, more than you can imagine. But, if I cannot provoke it, I will provoke fear.

Image
You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.

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.

If you can be that link to other people that came before you and the ones that come after, then you have to honor that link. If you are doing what somebody else tells you to do and you have success, it's horrible. And if you are doing what other people tell you to do and you fail, it's equally horrible.

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.

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.

I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.
