I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.

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

Broken Hard Thinking Work
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

Powerful Unseen Way
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.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

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

Heart Knows Uncomplicated
It’s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.

I would much rather see somebody bring something new to a genre than produce something that seems safe.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Genre New Safe Something
I’m a movement Nazi. It used to be my way before. Now, in the last three projects. I found a way to let the actors find their comfort and still find the precision in the show. It’s a change in me.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Actor Comfort Lasts Way
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.”.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Kids Violence Violent
I think once a Catholic, always a Catholic. You never escape. I still have Catholic guilt. It is in its basis a really powerful religion and a really strong set of beliefs. They permeate my work in many ways.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Powerful Strong Thinking
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.

Guy Makeup Trying
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.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Common Country Long People
I am the nice adversary, the guy that’s going to ask the tough questions and is not going to be happy with the quick answer.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Guy Nice Questions Tough
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.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Compromise Despair Easy
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

Continue Fantastic Liberation Money
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

Impossible Retrospect Void
