More quotes by Guillermo del Toro

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Guillermo del Toro
Image
I'm a movement Nazi. It used to be my way before. Now, in the last three projects. I found a way to let the actors find their comfort and still find the precision in the show. It's a change in me.

Image
It’s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.

Image
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

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.

Films are fantastic - they are one of the peaks of human narrative. But I'm sorry to break the news to the movie industry: So is a video game.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined
Guillermo del Toro
Image
I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
Frankfurt, discussing a stuntman: He missed being killed in that shot be literally half an inch.
Guillermo del Toro
Image
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.

There is beautiful in the grotesque.

I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others
