“In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, "This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius!" And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. "You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it."” FeelsKindSometimesCareProcessCreativePiecesMinutesStupidHugeGeniusEgoHolesFantasticTyrantsCreative ProcessDictatorRudeMisleadJellyfish Author:Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
“There's nothing better than being in a film that translates to audiences and makes people think and feel good and walk away with great revelations in their own life of some kind.

“Actually, when I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe. On the last trip, I stayed in Europe for one year with $1,000, working everywhere I could, doing everything. Those years shaped me a lot and taught me the value of exploring different things.” ThinkingWayFeelsYearsMadeTwoDifferentLastsValuesGrowing UpGrowingTaughtEuropeBoatDifferent ThingsAffectedExploringMobileMississippiAlabamaCargoRougeBatonBaton Rouge Author:Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
