Text Quotes
I understand the bad rap that 3-D is getting because the conversions are crappy and because the films aren’t designed for 3-D. It’s a completely different medium.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) A lot of the films I like are more than fantasies - they’re movies fascinated by the technology of space exploration, and they try to honor the laws of physics. I watched the Gregory Peck movie ‘Marooned’ over and over when I was a kid  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I have to say, ‘Gravity’ is better in 3-D, even though in 2-D the quality of the picture is better. But the 3-D is better  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I left Mexico for artistic survival. If I had stayed, I would have been forced by the government, who control the movie business, to direct TV shows or commercials or infomercials for the government  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I think it is something that is so important, to be very aware of the direction in which the 21st century is going with all this blind faith in democracy. And by the way, I am not against democracy - I am against the blind faith that is being put in democracy  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) It’s a cliche, but Americans are puritanical. In their movies, they are scared of sex, but they overindulge in violence. I could have cut a G-rated version of ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ that would have pleased the American ratings board, but it would have been five minutes long  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) The two real leads in ‘Children of Men’ are Clive Owen and the social environment. You know, this same movie without the social environment maybe is just like a generic chase movie  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) Y Tu Mama Tambien’ is one of the first unrated movies to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. But many video stores won’t take a movie that’s not rated, so I had to make the movie an R  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) The most important thematics in humanity I think that are completely universal and completely relatable from one person to the other. As long as, one more time going to back to the thematic, as long as you’re truthful to that thematic, you can trust that that is going to transcend  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I have my set rigged with the biggest sound system possible and have a mini jack for my iPod attached to my director’s chair. I find playing music is a very direct way to communicate with actors and the crew, especially those crew members who are on the periphery of the set. I like dancing on set too, it’s a good way to release tension  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I guess I have a short attention span! I’m interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I was not aware of how much I loved ‘Canoa’ until I saw it after doing ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ and realized that my voice - over about the story’s historical context - that narrator - came from ‘Canoa’.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I have my misgivings about 3-D. I don’t like the lack of blacks and whites, how it dulls the image, how the color gets corrupted. I don’t necessarily like the experience of having heavy glasses in front of me  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) If you want to keep on being relevant as a director, I think you have to embrace the times. And with the times come technologies and formats.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I believe that human beings are born first and given passports later. I’m really thankful for my journey. And it’s a journey I didn’t design.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) No ‘rules.’ What are you, British or something? I guess I’m too nice... No wonder people take advantage of me.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) Every film is difficult. Making films, you’re always going to have problems, there’s always going to be challenges.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) Dramatically, the moment in ‘Gravity’ that was hardest to nail down is when Ryan is in the Soyuz capsule and she realizes that she’s out of fuel. That’s when the character’s arc gets defined.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) For me, my films are not like my children. They are like my ex-wife. They gave me so much; I gave them so much; I loved them so much; we part ways, and it’s OK, we part ways.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) Space fascinated me because I’m from the generation that saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon live on TV. I was 7 at the time. Also, ‘Lost in Space’ was one of my favorite shows on TV back then.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) When you’re doing a film, narrative is your most important tool, but it’s a tool to create a cinematographic experience, to create those moments that are beyond narrative, that are almost an abstraction of that moment that hits your psyche.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) This is the thing I have with awards: If awards would make your movie more pretty, I would really get super excited about it. But your movie’s done. You get awards, you don’t get awards... They don’t make your movie more ugly or pretty.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) Technology is technology. Technology doesn’t have a, it is not good or bad. Technologies are tools.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) It’s seldom that you find great moments in television. Usually you remember - in ‘Breaking Bad’ or any of these other great shows - you remember situations or characters. Not moments. But I have to say, I can make the same argument for mainstream movies, which have bad narratives and also no memorable moments.  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I guess I have a short attention span! I’m interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) No ‘rules.’ What are you, British or something? I guess I’m too nice... No wonder people take advantage of me  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) The long takes process doesn’t allow for that many takes. In the past I have shot over 50 takes of different shots. Sometimes you end up using take 64, sometimes take four  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) We’re born first humans then after they stamp our passport  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) You have to be very focused about the music that you have inside  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes) I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again  (Alfonso Cuaron Quotes)
