The movies that I do are in love with cinema, and I try to show that I am in love with cinema. I want them to be, in other ways, drinking from other sources.
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
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
