Imagine, there is almost no possibility for a foreign language film to be distributed in America right now. That doesn't just make the industry poorer, it makes the landscape of cinema poorer, in America. The impossibility to get a good release on a really good European, Latin American, Asian movie is a tragedy.

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.

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.
Guillermo del Toro
I believe in man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world.
