Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Cinema is universal, beyond flags and borders and passports.

My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.

Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
