More quotes by 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
The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.
Guillermo del Toro
The movies that I do are in love with cinema, and I try to show that I am in love with cinema. I want them to be, in other ways, drinking from other sources.

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 love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.

If at age 10 I say there are monsters in the basement and they don't believe it, I would have stayed in that house. My father would have said Shut up and get to your room. So I thought the only sanctioned tyranny in the world is parenthood and everybody goes Yeah. It's a dictatorship - parenthood.
Guillermo del Toro
I try to find inspiration in books, paintings, illustrations and the one thing I try to avoid is just being inspired by other movies, because then you just are talking about movies in movies. I try to talk about movies that are culturally and spiritually a little more diverse.
Guillermo del Toro
There's something worse than not making a movie. It's doing it for the wrong reasons. Then you end up putting three, four, five years of your life into it and you come out with a thing that you're not proud of.
Guillermo del Toro
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
Guillermo del Toro
Survival often feels like an indignity.
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
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
In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the flesh– whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perish– thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust.
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
When you see something or experience something extraordinary, you can't go back to normal... I think that that's the way I see the supernatural-as happening in mundane circumstances or to people who are unprepared.
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
We're in three living groups, 'cause even after the world's ended some assholes still can't get along.
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
Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.
Guillermo del Toro
The saddest journey in the world is the one that follows a precise itinerary. Then you're not a traveler. You're a f@@king tourist.
Guillermo del Toro
