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
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
Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -
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
When you shoot in America, you have huge beams of sunlight in the windows, very vivid sunlight - it's faster in a way.
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
Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.
Guillermo del Toro
The only thing you can do as an artist is to come to the world, see what no one is doing, and leave behind one or two things that wouldn’t have happened without you.
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
I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.
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
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
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.
