“For me, it is especially important to maintain my interior life. My spirituality…” — Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Everybody is looking for validation, no matter who you are, and I think that's a need of the human condition - to look for affection or recognition or validation.

In my work I think what drives me is perfection. I'm a chronically unsatisfied guy.

I think we do good things and bad things, sometimes simultaneously - or they may be the same thing.

All my films I have shot in chronological order - always. And the reason is that there's a moment that the screenplay is the notion of the film. But when you start doing a film... the work itself starts being transformed, and you have to surrender.
