Alejandro Jodorowsky Life Quotations

Every person, every artist makes his life an artwork.

Life is beautiful, what do you think? In the morning I say, 'Ah, I am alive still!' All my friends die already. I am alive. It is fantastic.

All my life, I have never found a person who really loved this world. Every person hates the world, how he is.

To have hands, to have fingers, is weird. Real life is weird, to have fingers?

I don't have interest in life. Life has an interest in me.

My father was an atheist, absent. He was a salesman; I was four years old when he told me that the end of life was death.

A person is not the same in his life at all times. Your consciousness is developing all the time. When I started making 'El Topo,' I was one person. When I finished that picture, I was another person.

The imagination wants to construct the new worlds, no? Creativity is a solution. If I ask you, "What is your goal in life? How many years do you have to live before to die? How many years do you have? And what you will do with these years you have?" You have pressure there. "How you will realize a good life? How? Tell me!" Then, you start to open your mind.
