Guillermo del toro

There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.

I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema.

I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others.

I'm a lapsed altar boy.

They're getting more and more experience on what to expect, and the Hellboy audience is such a faithful and fanatic audience as I am, and you have to really be very open about what you do.

I was directing before I knew it was called that.

Well I think effects are tools.

I think there are movies that are so gigantic that you need a second unit.

In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert... if it's too loud, you're too old.

The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.
