More quotes by 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 don't try to define the cosmos, I know it's unknowable, but I can understand my place in the world and my place in the universe through a mixture of Taoism, Catholicism, Zen or whatever I have at hand.
Guillermo del Toro
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
What makes a man a man? a friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them.
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
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
When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.
Guillermo del Toro
You can't explain success in retrospect. The moment you leap into the void, that moment is impossible to negate, after success.
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
: There are only two on-buttons for fear, in any permutation you want. One is when something that shouldn't be is, meaning a presence. And, the other one is an absence.
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
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully it simply flies on.
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
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
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
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Guillermo del Toro
Survival often feels like an indignity.
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
As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut.
Guillermo del Toro
When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
