I have been in the business long enough to know what an intense amount of work it takes to operate a theater company.

We all have that capacity, to be two things. And after all I was named for both the devil and the angel. Demonio y angel. Dem-y-an.

A lot of the things that I’ve learned in the past have been from dear friends. Rodriguez’s favorite line is “Fácil!” Easy! He makes things easy. He doesn’t complicate his life. He’s obsessed with perfection, but he makes it easy, and that’s pretty much the way I work as an actor.

It's a really, really hard life when you don't have a document that actually gives you a name and a face.

If you think about portraying Americans, for example, in a Russian film, it all depends on where the American is from, if they went to school or not, and if they're well-educated or not. Is it an American from Texas, or an American from Brooklyn? Things would change with the vocabulary and the accent.

I try to be as clear as I can be.

I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.
