Up until the time I was 31 years old, in Spain, I still didn't know how I was going to pay the rent.

Cinema has opened a world of possibilities up for me.

Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world.

No, obviously, the time goes by, the English gets better. Ever since I met Melanie, that was almost nine years ago now, you have to just speak the language continuously, hone every word. So, and the proof for me of that, was actually in theater. It has to be two hours and 45 minutes on the stage speaking a language that is not your language, and singing.

Expectation is the mother of all frustration.
