"I have been fascinated by fairy tales and the mechanics at work in them since my early childhood. I have enjoyed reading the original versions of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' and have always found that the form itself lends easily to disturbing images. Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde in fact have some tales of thinly veiled S&M, full of horrific and brutal moments. I always try to integrate some fairy tale elements..."- Guillermo Del Toro
