I never deny a true experience in one shot.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.

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

I understand when there's no money for the arts in the government, but it should maybe pressure private companies to support more filmmakers. These exhibition and distribution companies are huge, and there might be incentives for them to invest more in Mexican cinema.

I've listened to music all my life. I've always felt that music tells more stories sometimes than films, with more possibilities. Every time you listen to them, songs bring different images and moods - depending on where you are in your life, you can listen to a song and it means something different.

I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.
