I think movies in general should have more respect for the audience than they do. Too many films are afraid to confuse people, so all the information is given to them right away, and there's nothing left for the film to do. It ruins many stories, because everything becomes obvious and predictable. I want my films to engage people more and make them more actively involved in the story.

All my films have always been released in the autumn, maybe because they're more melancholy to people.

I saw what I could [in Mexico City], but we rarely got anything other than big, mainstream American films.

I think the arts should get big support, but my country has a lot of needs more important than film. Medication, education, food... The poverty is overwhelming. There are simply more important things to be attended to.

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

All people know that they will die, but they don't actually believe it.

I always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.
