I don’t see myself as a moviemaker only, you know? When I can do a picture, I do. But I don’t work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live. – Alejandro Jodorowsky
Pretty soon we will no longer have movies. We will have television series only. – Alejandro Jodorowsky
I was alone as a child. I lived in fairytales, adventures, Shakespeare. They are the friends, my books. – Alejandro Jodorowsky
I hated Peter O’Toole. I wanted to kill that guy! When they said he was dead, I was happy. People said, ‘Poor Peter O’Toole.’ I was happy! – Alejandro Jodorowsky
