I have a bad reputation, I guess. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 000213812
I began to learn about the camera and the actors. That gave me a lot of the skills.

When you are shooting in a conventional way, you put nets around yourself. It's very hard to fall and hit the ground. You can always manipulate things to make it not embarrassing.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 000251276

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 000385849
I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there's no music. Without rhythm, there's no cinema. Without rhythm, there's no architecture. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

How can [actors] learn their lines and be honest in front of 30 people and all the lights? It makes me cry sometimes. I can't understand how they can be joking with me 30 seconds before, and 40 seconds later they're giving me all this incredible feeling. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 000428896

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001177601

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001208683

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001242823

Films like 'Babel' can transcend the one point-of-view formula that has reigned for so long. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001248743
'Babel' is about the point of view of others. It literally includes points of views as experienced from the other side. It is not about a hero. It is not about only one country. It is a prism that allows us to see the same reality from different angles. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001256241
It's very healthy to be aware of your ego. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001304830

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001325051
In the United States there's not a lot of people interested in foreign language films. Every time, it's more difficult for foreign language films to survive here. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001331875
I think the arts should get big support, but my country has a lot of needs more important than film. Medication, education, food ... The poverty is overwhelming. There are simply more important things to be attended to. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001334397
Really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I've always found my way through it in different ways. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001334872
People talk about the pain of defeat, but I think defeat has a lot of value. I think the wound of victory can be even more damaging than defeat. Very few people really know how to win. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001347733
There's nothing better than being in a film that translates to audiences and makes people think and feel good and walk away with great revelations in their own life of some kind. But when the process and the experience and the fun of that matches, it's a good feeling. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001349183
As the camera, I try to subordinate every word to be truthful and honest to each character's context. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001354148
Time is what allows stories to spread into people's consciousness. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001354818

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001430472

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001434012
I just wanted to show the migrants as complex humans with flaws and weakness, with good and bad things, and show that they're parents and family men. I wanted to show them with everything, as they are. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001435719

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001436553

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001458602
In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001467734
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001467735

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001467737
What good is making a jewel if nobody see it? But cost depends on the story. To get those performances in 'Biutiful,' you need that time. You need 60 takes in a scene and a year to edit. It's not realistic to do it any other way. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes : pic 001467738
I think there's nothing wrong with being fixated on superheroes when you are 7 years old, but I think there's a disease in not growing up. -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
