People think you’re like The Godfather, waiting for scripts to come in. But, you’re hustling, you’re desperate, you’re panicked and you’re horrified. The movie you think you’re going to do next, you don’t do. The movie you think you’re never going to do, you make.

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.

Somebody said to me, in a very well-meaning way, at a screening, “We love the movie but it’s too violent. If you tone down the violence you could reach a great audience of kids.”.

I think when the joke comes from the situation in a horror film, it’s really great. I don’t like jokey horror films like where people are cracking a joke or being post-modern about it.

Your heart is uncomplicated. It knows what it knows and acts accordingly. Greater wisdom is hard to find.

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.
