Guillermo del Toro

What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.

But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil's Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
