Alejandro Jodorowsky

I was alone as a child. I lived in fairytales, adventures, Shakespeare. They are the friends, my books. ”

I don't regret any past. I am not there. I am not sorry not to make pictures, because I know one day I will do it. I intend to live 150 years. ”

I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I don't believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now; it's from another century, it's not for today. ”

Scientific thought and the miraculous unconscious are two waves in the same ocean. ”

The first thing I didn't understand was my life. It's a mystery. And today I don't understand economy or politics. I don't know why politics or economy are destroying the world, but I will understand after understanding. ”

One day I was sitting in my own pain, and suddenly all the pain and troubles of the world came to me. I received all the pain of the world, all through my body. ”

The end of the surrealism movement was so political, so artistically pure. ”

I am not like Hitchcock, directing the reaction of the public or the audience. I don't like that. I think this is some kind of fascism - 'You need to react like that.' No. No. It's not like this; everyone needs to react as he can. ”

My consciousness is without limits more than when I was 40 or 50. ”

You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time. ”
