Whenever Hollywood gets involved with real life events, certain liberties have to be taken.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.

Sometimes I look back and think, 'Good. I'd love to go in and bang out a good episode of 'Talk Soup' today.'

I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.

I've always thought Mexico City was incredibly dynamic.

When you have a director who has work you can identify from the past, it gives you some reference point as to what their interpretation of the story might be, and how that might jibe, right or wrong, with how you see it. But with a first-time director, you don't really know where you're at.

Ultimately, I'm not so sure that, as a person, I'm all that interesting.
