For many years, I did pantomime with Marcel Marceau. I was a writer for him and got to know very well how to use the body for illustration. I wanted to do a mother without arms, but using the arms of her son in Santa Sangre. The tragedy should always have something funny. Something weird.
Alejandro JodorowskyI want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life.
Alejandro JodorowskyHave a dream. Fight to do a dream. Don't ask if it is possible to do something or if not possible. Try to do it!
Alejandro JodorowskyI am an artist. 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. And you are like in some kind of possession, where you are doing anything to get the visual. You become another person. You're becoming an artist in action. And then a lot of miracles come. A lot of discovering. It's a very complicated thing.
