I was brought up the Mexican way, where actors are paid very little and every part you take is an act of faith. If people respect that, then great.

Recently I've been doing risottos. Some of them have been amazing. Some of them, not all of them.

You know, Motorcycle Diaries has no incredible stories, no sudden plot twists, it doesn't play that way. It's about recognizing that instance of change and embracing it.

Every decision that you make you have to be incredible congruent. It doesn't mean that you have to starve. If you need money, you do something that gives you money, that's normal.

In Mexico, theater is very underground, so if youre a theater actor its very difficult to make a living. But its also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education.

In Mexico we have a trick - add a crystal of salt to the kettle and the tea tastes better, almost English. But after four pots, your kettle's broken.

Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu is a great director. He's the one I first worked with. He's amazing.
