You have to believe the magic to see it.

When somebody says something I don't agree with, I say I'd rather not. It comes to the point where that is the strongest form of resistance. As a Mexican, it took me a long while to learn one word in English, "no". And that is the one word we have in common.

I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things

In real life, what scares me is politicians, corporations and people that think they know what the world should be.

I really believe that in the larger sense, not only today but at all times, you only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

When you have the intuition that there is something which is there, but out of the reach of your physical world, art and religion are the only means to get to it.

There's nothing that defines who you are more than boundaries, whether you cross them or not, in every aspect of your life, and horror is a really great boundary.
