More quotes by 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
For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.
Guillermo del Toro
I really believe that in the larger sense, not only today but at all times, you only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.
Guillermo del Toro
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Guillermo del Toro
When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.
Guillermo del Toro
What makes a man a man? a friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.

When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
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
If you're doing a big spectacle film, you've got to be mindful of large masses. Even then, you've got to be responsible only to your storytelling.
Guillermo del Toro
There is beautiful in the grotesque.
Guillermo del Toro
It's the difference between a parable and a pamphlet. A parable discusses things that are relevant in the past, the future, and the present - regardless of the outcome in the present. A pamphlet, on the other hand, is completely concerned with affecting an outcome in the present, the most immediate present.
Guillermo del Toro
I'm the freaky version of that superhero who says, wherever there is injustice, I shall be there. Whenever there is a difficult project, I'd like to be there.
Guillermo del Toro
For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.
Guillermo del Toro
You can always go back to not making any money, and then you get the freedom. And I'm going to continue doing it, because it really is a fantastic sense of liberation.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
I thought the tooth fairy was a very creepy concept as a kid. Put your tooth under the pillow. I was like Why does someone want my teeth?.
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
Films are fantastic - they are one of the peaks of human narrative. But I'm sorry to break the news to the movie industry: So is a video game.
