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.

More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue
Guillermo del Toro
It’s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.
Guillermo del Toro
When I see a short schedule, my question to the director is, are you really comfortable with this, or are you doing it to be a good boy? At the end, you only win the medal if the film is good, you don't win a medal if the movie is on time.
Guillermo del Toro
I don't try to define the cosmos, I know it's unknowable, but I can understand my place in the world and my place in the universe through a mixture of Taoism, Catholicism, Zen or whatever I have at hand.
Guillermo del Toro
When somebody says something I don't agree with, I say I'd rather not. It comes to the point where that is the strongest form of resistance. As a Mexican, it took me a long while to learn one word in English, no. And that is the one word we have in common.
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
If you don't take it personally, the partnership between producers and directors is very intimate.
Guillermo del Toro
Survival often feels like an indignity.
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 like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others
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
When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.
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
Genius is the true mystery, and at its edge--the abyss.
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
Never fly commercial. That's the moral of this story.
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
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'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books, but I'd love to do one where one of the kids dies, or one of the main characters dies. I love for those things to have a little bit more tragedy.
Guillermo del Toro
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Guillermo del Toro
