The visual architecture of 'Biutiful' is the most sophisticated of all the films I have directed.

I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there's no music. Without rhythm, there's no cinema. Without rhythm, there's no architecture.

I have always said that innocence is much more powerful than experience.

When you see things upside down, the ego can be extraordinarily funny; it's absurd. But it's tragic at the same time.

When you have a fresh point of view that comes from the right side of the heart, it's just so valuable. You can take it or not take it, but just that perspective can give you a lot of strength or make you reflect on a lot of things.

Innocence can be more powerful than experience.

I'm less interested in reality. I'm more interested in perception, the truth of the universe that we see.
