The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7.
Guillermo del Toro
There are two types of producing deals, and I've had both. I've produced over 20 movies now. You are either watching in horror, as the cars take the curve in the grand prix, or you're enjoying it.
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
I have fat-guy syndrome. If they give me $50 million to make a movie, I'll try to make it look like it cost a hundred. If they give me $60 million, I'll try to make it look like it cost $120.
Guillermo del Toro
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.
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
When I see a short schedule, my question to the director is, are you really comfortable with this, or are you doing it to be a good boy? At the end, you only win the medal if the film is good, you don't win a medal if the movie is on time.
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
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
In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the flesh– whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perish– thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust.
