I think art is, unfortunately, sometimes our only shot at communicating our indignation safely and effectively.

Artists have a tremendous purpose in society, which is to continually expose, to continually challenge and to never stop producing. To never stop creating, no matter what.

Mexico has relied on television for decades to keep the citizens misinformed and in a constant state of stupor. I mean we live in a time where democracy is almost synonymous with oligarchy.

Maybe I'm the badass lady who rids Mexico of drugs, of oppression and illiteracy.

To see an older woman play a little boy on stage completely blasted open my perception to what it meant to act. That was it for me.

In many points in history films and filmmakers have been banned for political reasons- that's how annoying they can be to oppressing systems, how dangerous.

My parents are big liberals and taught us to never trust a government that rids their people of basic human rights.
