I don't see myself as a movie maker only. 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. i write books, i write for comic books, i give lectures... i live. and when the opportunity comes to do a picture, i do a picture.

More From Alejandro Jodorowsky

Comic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. so a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. so, i don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.

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.
Order Knows Can Do
I write books, i write for comic books, i give lectures... i live. and when the opportunity comes to do a picture, i do a picture.
Book Writing Opportunity
The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
People have now a-days got a strange opinion that every thing should be taught by lectures. now, i cannot see that lectures can do as much good as reading the books from which the lectures are taken.
Book Taken Reading
Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.
Pain Sleep Laughing
Similar Quotes
I still believe that standing up for the truth of god is the greatest thing in the world. this is the end (purpose) of life. the end of life is not to be happy. the end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. the end of life is to do the will of god, come what may.
Life Wisdom Pain
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. there is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Hurt Pain Tyrants
Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting.
Pain Poetry Silence
Misery colored by the greens and blues in my mother's voice took away all the grief out of the words and left me with a conviction that pain was not only endurable, it was sweet.
Mother Sweet Pain
