Words Don't Heal. Art Heals!

I Live Making Comics. Comics Is An Industrial Art But Less Suffering, Because Comics Are For Young People Who Are More Adventurous. I Do That. I Live Off Comics, And Then I Write Books, But When You Want Movies, You Cannot Make Movies Without Money.

Santa Sangre Is The Picture I Love The Best, Myself, Because El Topo And The Holy Mountain I Made With My Head, And Santa Sangre I Made With My Feelings, With My Heart. It's An Emotional Picture. And It's More Real For Me, That Picture.

I Don't Think Of An Actor. I Think In The Character, And Then I Search For The Actor. Usually I'm Thinking Without Names, Because They Will Change My Idea. No Big Egos. If I Want Egos - Just Mine. That Is Enough.

I Am An Artist. For Me, A Picture Is Like Poetry. When You Make Art, This Is Not Coming From An Intellectual Place. It's Coming From The Deep Side Of Your Unconscious, Your Soul. And You Are Like In Some Kind Of Possession, Where You Are Doing Anything To Get The Visual. You Become Another Person. You're Becoming An Artist In Action. And Then A Lot Of Miracles Come. A Lot Of Discovering. It's A Very Complicated Thing.

I Have An Ambition To Live 300 Years. I Will Not Live 300 Years. Maybe I Will Live One Year More. But I Have The Ambition. Why You Will Not Have Ambition? Why? Have The Greatest Ambition Possible. You Want To Be Immortal? Fight To Be Immortal. Do It. You Want To Make The Most Fantastic Art Or Movie? Try. If You Fail, Is Not Important. We Need To Try.
