More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
Guillermo del Toro
What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.
Guillermo del Toro
Well I think effects are tools
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
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
Guillermo del Toro
If you get bored with nothing to do, you are not a writer ... We are in the business of reproducing reality from nothing. We are the biggest liars in the world, seeking truth.
Guillermo del Toro
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
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 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.

I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.
Guillermo del Toro
I believe in man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world.
Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro
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
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
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 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
The idea for me is that if the movie connects with you the way I want it to connect with you, you should be experiencing both the horror and the wonder as a child would. From a child's point of view. When we're kids, brutality registers differently than when we are adults. Because as adults, we get too used to violence.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
You think if you work hard enough, you can fix the precious things you've broken - rather than being careful with them in the first place.
Guillermo del Toro
Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -
