Danh ngôn của Alejandro Jodorowsky (Sứ mệnh: 1)

I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It's coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I don't believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now; it's from another century, it's not for today.
In Chile, they have no movies. They have awful popular movies.
For me they are no different, reality and dreams.
Failure doesn't exist. It's only a change of direction.
Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.
You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.
Life is beautiful, what do you think? In the morning I say, 'Ah, I am alive still!' All my friends die already. I am alive. It is fantastic.
Surrealism was necessary - essential, even - in the 1920s to bridge the gap between rationalism and the subconscious. It started something important. But by the early '60s, it had become petit-bourgeois; it was too intellectual and romantic, and had ground to a halt. It had become respectable.
