As a young actor, I booked a movie in the U.S. I didn't speak any English at the time, so I learned my lines phonetically when I auditioned for it.

I grew up in the theater. I began my career at 3. That was the first time I stepped onto a provisional stage.

I’m an actor who’s accustomed to bringing a lot of stuff to the table, and you have to be ready because some of them will be accepted and some of them will be rejected. Then you need a generous, free, fearless, loving director like Tarantino to allow you to take those risks.

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.

Can you imagine saying ‘Hi’ to Sam Jackson and he goes and gives you a hug? It’s like being hugged by a lion.

I'm an old-fashioned guy.

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.
