If you want to tell grown-up fairy tales, you have to look for the dark side.
From Juan Antonio Bayona
As a director, you never think about how an audience would respond. You can think about that, but you will never change what you're going to do.
I had a very happy childhood.
I went to a festival pretending to work as a journalist to get free tickets and interview people I really admired. I remember one of these people was Guillermo del Toro.
I can consider myself my audience, and I'm not that weird. I'm fortunate in the things that I like, most people like.
I always try to do more than one or two takes if we have the time.
I think your behavior is different when you work on digital or film. It seems that... I feel most focused if I'm working on film.
You're watching the movie for the first time when you're working with the actors in front of the camera. You don't think about how the audience will react. You discover the film.
When you're portraying a tough situation, you have to show some of the things in there.
Music is very helpful, not just for the actors, but the whole crew and myself. It gives you the tone of the scene. Everyone is focused on the tone of the scene when we are shooting, and we are having an emotional reaction to the music immediately.
