Alfonso Cuarón's quotes

What's the point of being an Australian guy traveling through India if you are going to go to India to meet other Australians?
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.
The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
Most of cinema nowadays is about shooting a lot and then figuring it out in the cutting room, rather than seeing your film it the head and see what's in your head and not shoot what you have already envisioned in your head.
When people see some depth you never intended that's really cool, you just put on a face and say "Oh, yeah, that was deep". What are you going to say? I'm just a moron with luck?
When you work with kids, people tell you to be very delicate, but that's the last thing you should do with kids. They feel patronized if you're like that. They just want you to be normal.
There are fewer established rules in the way you tell a story for commercials than in features,it's a great little short story you get to play with.
If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be A Little Princess.
[on the physicality of Sandra Bullock's performance] It was more like a dancer really with choreography, because it just wasn't marks, it was about timing. So it was very complex and I'm amazed at what she did.
[on Roma] Memory can be subject but it can also be objective. I was interested to observe those moments at a distance without a judging eye, not allowing the camera to interfere.
[on Roma] When setting up Roma, I wasn't concerned about narrative, I was concerned about memory. I was concerned about spaces, textures, and trusting that all of that together would interweave a narrative by itself...a cinematic narrative.
[accepting the Critics' Choice Award as Best Picture for "Roma"] This bunch of Mexicans are not as bad as sometimes they are portrayed.
