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

Don’t complicate whatever is not complicated.

I wanted to give my actor a break. I wanted to live and to learn English. I wanted to be anything, a cabdriver, a busboy, anything to keep me away from acting for a while.

I like playing human beings - I don't believe in good or bad. I don't believe in black and white. I believe in different tonalities. I believe in different layers of emotions and states of mind. I believe in characters that can be human.

I hope people can stop believing everything politicians say about Mexico and the United States, and the problems that we share.

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 don't believe in bad and good, I believe we are all a mix of both.
