I love REAL set construction ...

I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

I feel that your ambitions sh...

I feel that your ambitions should always exceed the budget. That no matter what budget you're doing, you should be dreaming bigger than the budget you have, and then it's a matter of reigning it in to the reality. You try to make things count.

Any legend, any creature, any...

Any legend, any creature, any symbol we ever stumble on, already exists in a vast cosmic reservoir where archetypes wait. Shapes looming outside our Platonic cave. We naturally believe ourselves clever and wise, so advanced, and those who came before us so na?ve and simple...when all we truly do is echo the order of the universe, as it guides us.

I love the creation of these things — I love the sculpting, I love the coloring. Half the joy is fabricating the world, the creatures.

The idea for me is that if the movie connects with you the way I want it to connect with you, you should be experiencing both the horror and the wonder as a child would. From a child's point of view. When we're kids, brutality registers differently than when we are adults. Because as adults, we get too used to violence.

I was an altar boy, a spokesperson for the Virgin Mary, I was a choir boy but then at the age of 14 I discovered masturbation and all that went out the window.

"What makes a man a man?" a f...

"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 146 quotes

I think that is the ultimate ...

I think that is the ultimate cowardice, when someone makes your choices for you in an institutional way. And you just say, "Well, I have no other option."

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

The only thing you can do as ...

The only thing you can do as an artist is to come to the world, see what no one is doing, and leave behind one or two things that wouldn’t have happened without you.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

You only find yourself when y...

You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist.... Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit... We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

And yet one carries the sins ...

And yet one carries the sins of his forebears as one carries their features in his face. One bears their blood, and their honor or their blight.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

As a child that was disenfran...

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 146 quotes

We are such skeptics that we ...

We are such skeptics that we find it difficult to believe in God and angels and a spiritual afterlife, but a moment of fear makes our spirit so vulnerable that it allows us to believe in something beyond that.

What we read and why we do so...

What we read and why we do so defines us in a profound way. You are what you read, I suppose. Browsing through someone’s library is like peeking into their DNA.

video games are the comic books of our time... It's a medium that gains no respect among the intelligentsia".

Night is real. Night is not a...

Night is real. Night is not an absence of light, but in fact, it is daytime that is a brief respite from the looming darkness.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

Power revealed is power sacri...

Power revealed is power sacrificed. The truly powerful exert their influence in ways unseen, unfelt. Some would say that a thing visible is a thing vulnerable.

Guillermo Del Toro 146 quotes

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 146 quotes

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.
