Guillermo del Toro

I have been stopped in the past and asked to show my papers in the past and asked pointed questions in the past, pulled aside in immigration in the past.

So I have all my papers with me at all times, and it is a very difficult time when there is no voice for the other.

And understanding that the other is you is crucial.

Exile.

has been momentous and extremely traumatic.

I haven't processed it, but I did it in the best way possible.

I looked for a home in Spain.

I looked for a home in Toronto.

I made a home in Toronto, in a way.

And I, you know, when I got to Mexico, I loved going to Mexico.

And at the same time, I have to admit that I get sort of PTSD here and there, you know.

Yeah, I feel like something may happen at any moment.

Yes, because when it lasts 72 days...

you go through all the stages of grief five times.

It increased my sense of being unmoored in my existence, not belonging in my existence.

It reaffirmed that feeling.

That was originally from childhood, and now as an adult, I feel it in a different way.

But, you know, as Marty Feldman puts it in Young Frankenstein, it could be worse.

It could be raining.

I adore it.
