I never deny a true experience in one shot.

I hate superficial violence. It's shallow and stupid, and the impact on the audience is really bad.

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

Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.

The way America sees Mexico, if they have any sense of it, is like Taco Bell. Our countries are neighbors, and the only hard food to get in America is true Mexican. It's impossible to find, even in L.A. Why is that?

Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.

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