I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books, but I'd love to do one where one of the kids dies, or one of the main characters dies. I love for those things to have a little bit more tragedy.

More quotes by Guillermo del Toro
I think when you get all the money and all the freedom, rarely do you get a good movie out of it or a movie that you're proud of.
Guillermo del Toro
For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.
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
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
People tend to think that big things only happen to big people ... I think that is not true. The small decisions we make every day define who we are and define the world around us. ... But I bet to you there is a decision every day in your life where you affect somebody else.
Guillermo del Toro
For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.

I find I'm waking up really early now, just to read. Waking up at ungodly hours. But I try to keep up, religiously. When I was a kid, it used to be a book a day. Then a book a week. Now it's like a book every two weeks. But I read every day.
Guillermo del Toro
When you shoot in America, you have huge beams of sunlight in the windows, very vivid sunlight - it's faster in a way.
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
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
Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.
Guillermo del Toro
...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
Guillermo del Toro
I only produce directors and movies that I have a lot in common with.
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.
Guillermo del Toro
The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.
Guillermo del Toro
We're in three living groups, 'cause even after the world's ended some assholes still can't get along.
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
The saddest journey in the world is the one that follows a precise itinerary. Then you're not a traveler. You're a f@@king tourist.
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
: 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
