One wants to think that - and this is really a stupid thought - that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else's lives and thoughts or whatever.

You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.

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

I believe in creative work.

A lot of people love Tarantino’s films because they’re spectacular, they’re beautiful, they’re 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 they’re bloody, they’re gory, they’re savage. But very few people see that he’s a very political director.

The real secret to guacamole is that you use exactly the elements that you need, which is cilantro, onion, tomato, and jalapenos. And, of course, avocado.

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.
