Alejandro Jodorowsky Money Quotations

In movies, images cost - if you want a big image, it takes more money.

I had a big problem working with stars, because they are too expensive and have too many demands. Their names help you raise the money to make the movie, but then they demand close-ups. They change things. You end up doing things at their service instead of servicing the film.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

I was a happy man, never working. Sometimes I saw days with no money to eat. It was not so difficult.

Today a picture has value if it makes a lot of money. Myself, I declare I want to make a picture to lose money. Really! I want to lose money.
