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 first thing I didn't understand was my life. It's a mystery. And today I don't understand economy or politics. I don't know why politics or economy are destroying the world, but I will understand after understanding.

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.

Life is a way of perfection. You need to work on yourself. You become a good person. If you do your work you will discover sublime feelings.

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

We all exist in our own personal reality of craziness.

I shoot in Mexico, but I can shoot in India, anywhere. I have no nationality myself. My nationality is the planet.
