"I want to dedicate this to every young filmmaker, the youth that is showing us how things are done. Really they are, in every country in the world. And I was a kid enamored with movies, and growing up in Mexico I thought this could never happen. It happens... This is a door; kick it open and come in." - Guillermo del Toro - "Quiero dedicarle esto a todo joven cineasta, a la gente joven que nos esta enseñando como es que se hacen las cosas. De veras que lo están haciendo, en cada país del mundo. Y yo era un niño enamorado de las películas, y creciendo en México pensé que esto nunca podría ocurrir. Y sucede... Esta es una puerta; ábranla de una patada y vengan adentro.” - Guillermo del Toro

"When I was a kid, my dream was to be an actress and to be able to jump from one world to another, to disappear into roles, that people wouldn't recognize me from one movie to another. So I feel very lucky that I have the opportunity to live that dream..." - Oscar winner Marion Cotillard

"When I went up to receive my Oscar… it's hard to fathom that experience. It takes months. You keep looking at this statuette and you keep looking at the plaque on it that says 'Rita Moreno, Best Featured Actress, blah blah.' And it's very hard to absorb. You just keep thinking, 'it's not going to be there tomorrow morning. It's a dream. I'm going to wake up and it's gone.' But it's not. It's here in my living room right now and it will be here forever." - Rita Moreno, reflecting on her win for "West Side Story" - “Cuando me levanté para recibir mi Oscar… aquella es una experiencia difícil de comprender. Toma meses. Te mantienes mirando a esa estatua y te mantienes mirando a la placa en ella que dice ‘Rita Moreno. Mejor Actriz Protagónica, bla, bla.’ Y es muy difícil absorberlo. Uno sigue pensando, ‘esto no va a estar allí mañana por la mañana. Es un sueño. Me voy a despertar y va a haber desaparecido.’ Pero no es así. Aquí está en mi habitación y aquí va a estar para siempre” - Rita Moreno, reflexionando acerca de su premiación por “West Side Story”
