One becomes wise only in measures, as he goes through his own insanity.

In Chile they have no movies. They have awful popular movies. I am not a Latin American creator.

I grew up in the north of Chile, and this is why there are a lot of religious symbols in my pictures, because the Catholic Church in Latin America is very strong. If I was born in Japan, I would speak about Buddhism, but I was born in South America.

I wanted to make a film that gave the people who took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating.

Movies are movement. A comic-book is immobility. From one still picture to another, but no movement. You need to make the movement in your head. In the movies, you see the movement. It's different. What is the same is the mind of the creator.

Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.

Words don't heal. Art heals!
