Every mind has another vision of reality. There is not a common reality. Every person thinks he is like the others, but every person is different, living in his own psychology.

I don't live in France; I live in myself.

I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life.

If you are great, 'El Topo' is a great picture. If you are limited, 'El Topo' is limited.

If the picture is not an artistic picture, it's show, like television. Television series are very funny, but it's a collective production. An industrial art. A car is not made by a person, it's made by a group of creators, only to go to the market to buy your cigarettes. That is a car - they are not a big art, they are a little art.

Terrorists are not bad; they are limited by circumstances. They are human beings. I am very, very, very sad when they explode themselves and kill 40 to 60 persons. It's terrible. But also, I am sad for them, a young person who lost his whole life. It's terrible. They are limited by religion, by politics, by economical interests.
