More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
Guillermo del Toro
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
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
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
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
When you have the intuition that there is something which is there, but out of the reach of your physical world, art and religion are the only means to get to it.
Guillermo del Toro
When I stage a violent scene, I try for it to serve a purpose. I do love those things, the makeup effects. But I love them more with the monsters. I never was much of a gore guy. I've always enjoyed just creating monsters.
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
...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
Guillermo del Toro
If you don't take it personally, the partnership between producers and directors is very intimate.
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
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
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 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
There is beautiful in the grotesque.
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
Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.
Guillermo del Toro
If you're doing a big spectacle film, you've got to be mindful of large masses. Even then, you've got to be responsible only to your storytelling.
Guillermo del Toro
Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.
Guillermo del Toro
