I Am Not A Commercial Industry Creator.

I Don't Think Of An Actor. I Think In The Character, And Then I Search For The Actor. Usually I'm Thinking Without Names, Because They Will Change My Idea. No Big Egos. If I Want Egos - Just Mine. That Is Enough.

Every Artist - Even If They Do Superman, They Do Batman, And Things Like That - They Are Speaking About His Life. Every Person, Every Artist Makes His Life An Artwork.

If You Are Great, 'el Topo' Is A Great Picture. If You Are Limited, 'el Topo' Is Limited.

I Don't See Myself As A Movie Maker Only. When I Can Do A Picture, I Do. But I Don't Work Like A Business, In Pictures. I Am Not Obliged To Make One Picture After The Other In Order To Live. I Write Books, I Write For Comic Books, I Give Lectures... I Live. And When The Opportunity Comes To Do A Picture, I Do A Picture.

Movies Are Movement. A Comic-book Is Immobility. From One Still Picture To Another, But No Movement. You Need To Make The Movement In Your Head. In The Movies, You See The Movement. It's Different. What Is The Same Is The Mind Of The Creator.
