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.

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
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
You can always go back to not making any money, and then you get the freedom. And I'm going to continue doing it, because it really is a fantastic sense of liberation.
Guillermo del Toro
You think if you work hard enough, you can fix the precious things you've broken - rather than being careful with them in the first place.
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
Well I think effects are tools
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
I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.
Guillermo del Toro
With supernatural things, I have heard ghosts, but I've never seen ghosts. I do seek ghosts and I would love to see one, but I would crap my pants.

Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -
