More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
People tend to think that big things only happen to big people ... I think that is not true. The small decisions we make every day define who we are and define the world around us. ... But I bet to you there is a decision every day in your life where you affect somebody else.
Guillermo del Toro
You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.
Guillermo del Toro
If you don't take it personally, the partnership between producers and directors is very intimate.

For any actor to have Oliver Stone call him or her up Its a compliment. He expects you to be on your toes. If youre not, he pokes at you until you react. Hes very provocative, creatively. It started like a lot of hard work, but it ended up a lot of fun.

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 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
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.
Guillermo del Toro
Genius is the true mystery, and at its edge--the abyss.
Guillermo del Toro
If you can be that link to other people that came before you and the ones that come after, then you have to honor that link. If you are doing what somebody else tells you to do and you have success, it's horrible. And if you are doing what other people tell you to do and you fail, it's equally horrible.
Guillermo del Toro
: There are only two on-buttons for fear, in any permutation you want. One is when something that shouldn't be is, meaning a presence. And, the other one is an absence.

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
With supernatural things, I have heard ghosts, but I've never seen ghosts. I do seek ghosts and I would love to see one, but I would crap my pants.
Guillermo del Toro
There is beautiful in the grotesque.

I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.

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.
