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

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue

There are a lot of period movies where they say, ‘This is a portrait of Lady Whatever.’ And it’s done in like a 1950s or 60s style.

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

Important Real Thinking
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
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.

You can’t explain success in retrospect. The moment you leap into the void, that moment is impossible to negate, after success.

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.

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.

For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.

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.

Actor Comfort Lasts Way
I think there is a very quiet power in things that are not on screen

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.

The underground of the city is like what’s underground in people. Beneath the surface, it’s boiling with monsters.
