More quotes by 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.
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
Somebody said to me, in a very well-meaning way, at a screening, We love the movie but it's too violent. If you tone down the violence you could reach a great audience of kids..
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
Oliver Stone will never be happy with the first take. He wants more than that. When youre delivering your lines, hell stop you and tell you some kind of riddle about the character and you have to go away and figure that out. If youre hoping for him to give you all the answers, then youre in for a long day.
Guillermo del Toro
It's the difference between a parable and a pamphlet. A parable discusses things that are relevant in the past, the future, and the present - regardless of the outcome in the present. A pamphlet, on the other hand, is completely concerned with affecting an outcome in the present, the most immediate present.
Guillermo del Toro
Genius is the true mystery, and at its edge--the abyss.
Guillermo del Toro
You have to believe the magic to see it.
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
For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.
Guillermo del Toro
...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
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
I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others
Guillermo del Toro
As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut.
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 are times when you are in despair, because in order not to betray who you are, you don't compromise, you don't make movies that would be very lucrative or prestigious or easily understood. And yet I stay attached to the most uncanny premises. It's never been easy.
Guillermo del Toro
In a world where we are so pragmatic and materialistic, fear is the only emotion that allows even a sophisticated person to believe in something beyond.
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
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 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.
Guillermo del Toro
