When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match.

I was pretty excited to meet Cate Blanchett. She's great, she's amazing, I think she's one of the most beautiful women in the universe. And I mean the universe, not the world.

In Latin America, you don't do things for the money because there is no money.

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

To be absolved, especially if you commit a crime, there is no absolution, you must pay. But for forgiveness, with God or nature, you have to accept what you've done.

My love is for acting not money, so I only take on roles that I find challenging, in stories I find interesting.
