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.

The apocalypse is now! Americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. Do you know how I see the world? Like a person who is dying. It's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. We must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. We need to dance with death. This world is dying, but very well. We will make a big, big enormous butterfly. You and I will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.

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

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

I want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life.

Art gives to you a new conception of reality, opens your mind, opens your heart, opens your desire of action.

The only thing a master can teach is how to learn about yourself. There are no secrets. They are only techniques to waken yourself.
