When I met Quentin [Tarantino], he told me what every actor wishes from any director. He said, "I've been through a Demiรกn Bichir marathon. I've watched everything you've done." Most of the time, they don't even know what you've done.
Demian BichirWhen we talk about corruption, there's corruption on both sides of the border. That's what I think is interesting. I'm from Mexico, so when I see a Mexican portrayed in the American market on TV or films, you better do it right because you won't fool me. I'm sure no one really cares on this side of the border, if they get it right or not, but all the way from Mexico, to another 120 countries where the show goes, they will be able to tell the difference.
Demian BichirA lot of people love Tarantinoโs films because theyโre spectacular, theyโre beautiful, theyโre wonderful. He hires the best group of artists - not only actors, but everyone around: best photographers, best set designers, best production designers, costume designers. A lot of people love his films because theyโre bloody, theyโre gory, theyโre savage. But very few people see that heโs a very political director.
Demian BichirA lot of the things that Iโve learned in the past have been from dear friends. Rodriguezโs favorite line is โFรกcil!โ Easy! He makes things easy. He doesnโt complicate his life. Heโs obsessed with perfection, but he makes it easy, and thatโs pretty much the way I work as an actor.
