One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.

When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.

I always feel that art in general and acting in particular should make the audience a little uncomfortable, to slap them and wake them up.

There were many generations of Latino people coming to this country, coming from difficult political or social situations in their own countries, and they worked very hard to have their kids go to universities. Well, those kids came out and they are now doctors and architects, or they are on the Supreme Court. That has a reflection in Hollywood. So, we are actually very proud that our characters are Latinos, and I think it's good for diversity and cultural interaction.

Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

I get caught up in my bubble of reading, writing, or music.

Sometimes I have wrinkles, in the morning. It depends on what kind of night that I had. I accept myself and the way that I am growing older. I have eye bags and some people have proposed to me to take them out but I said no.
