I'm interested in new worlds, new universes, new challenges. I always said the only reason to make a film is not for the result but for what you learn for the next one.

I think it's always important to give immediate positive reinforcement.

Cautionary tales were fantastic in the '70s.

If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'

I was not aware of how much I loved 'Canoa' until I saw it after doing 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and realized that my voice - over about the story's historical context - that narrator - came from 'Canoa'.

I have to confess that I don't read much of what is written about me.

I produce the way I would love to be produced: In ways to create the best conditions to make your movie, but also to create a space in which the director calls the shots.
