Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu quotes about
affected caves immediacy love saw scratch
The cavemen, when they saw the antelopes, they had to scratch them on to the caves because they needed to express the immediacy of what they were being affected by - and I love that. That is why I do what I do. I need to express myself.
bit love satisfy
When we are looking for validation, that will never satisfy us. When we are looking for affection, for love, a little bit of that will be enough to be complete.
absolutely fell love nobody romantic
When I was sixteen, I was an absolutely romantic guy. I fell in love every week. I mean, I was in love with everybody, but unfortunately, nobody was in love with me.
love structural structure works wrote
I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.
human
I'm very curious, I guess, as a human being.
pronounce time
In hotels, every time I make a reservation and they never find my name, they never can pronounce it; it's so long, and sometimes they confuse.
allen among filmmakers greats van woody
I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai.
'Ikiru' is existential but with a lot of tenderness.
I'm telling the same story in every film.
felt liberating playing
It was liberating to do comedy. It felt like playing in a jazz band.
It's very healthy to be aware of your ego.
hard work
It's hard for me to work for somebody else. I can work with someone, but not for someone.
architecture
The visual architecture of 'Biutiful' is the most sophisticated of all the films I have directed.
bad letting means putting
To shoot a conventional film means that you are always covering yourself. You are putting nets and, in a way, letting bad decisions take over.
