Guillermo del ToroImagine, there is almost no possibility for a foreign language film to be distributed in America right now.

Guillermo del ToroIf you can be that link to other people that came before you and the ones that come after, then you have to honor that link. If you are doing what somebody else tells you to do and you have success, it's horrible. And if you are doing what other people tell you to do and you fail, it's equally horrible.
