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.

More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
You have to believe the magic to see it.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
Guillermo del Toro
The idea for me is that if the movie connects with you the way I want it to connect with you, you should be experiencing both the horror and the wonder as a child would. From a child's point of view. When we're kids, brutality registers differently than when we are adults. Because as adults, we get too used to violence.
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
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.
Guillermo del Toro
You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.
Guillermo del Toro
I believe that pain can be a rite of passage into learning. I believe that the worse thing that can happen is the sin of banality and comfort. Those things are in my movies, but also my movies are quite the fruit of somebody who defines himself as an agnostic.
Guillermo del Toro
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
Guillermo del Toro
My life is a suitcase. I am the traveling Mexican.
Guillermo del Toro
Frankfurt, discussing a stuntman: He missed being killed in that shot be literally half an inch.
Guillermo del Toro
You can only be a good father in relationship to your childhood.
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 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
...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
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
As a child that was disenfranchised from everything, and that was in a world that was the wrong size, run by the wrong people, the wrong morale and the wrong rules, I felt completely outside of that, and I wanted some measure of control, and the measure of control I found was through fear.
Guillermo del Toro
The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7.
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
Survival often feels like an indignity.
Guillermo del Toro
Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -
