You can't have a masterpiece without madness.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

If art is not a medicine for the society, it is a poison.

My writing routine is everyday I put a record on, the same one since 20 years. Then I burn a stick of incense, I put perfume here on the insides of my soles, I paint my left testicle red, and I write.

Maybe if literature was prohibited the same way as cocaine, people out of pure curiosity would try to get a couple of lines

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

You are engaging in madness. I feel obliged to accompany you.
