More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
As a child that was disenfranchised from everything, and that was in a world that was the wrong size, run by the wrong people, the wrong morale and the wrong rules, I felt completely outside of that, and I wanted some measure of control, and the measure of control I found was through fear.
Guillermo del Toro
As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut.
Guillermo del Toro
Never fly commercial. That's the moral of this story.
Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro
I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.
Guillermo del Toro
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
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
And yet one carries the sins of his forebears as one carries their features in his face. One bears their blood, and their honor or their blight.
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
Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
Guillermo del Toro
