Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.

This great imperialistic world called the United States has made us believe that an Oscar is the most important thing in the world for an actor. But if you think about it for five minutes you realise it cant be.

All of the good movies are based on how that story was told. And you cannot do it with a bad script, that's for sure, no matter who.

My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.

Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.

There is no middle ground in Hollywood; you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.

In 22 years of acting, I've only done two movies where I, personally, kill people. The Coens called me the Spanish Ballerina on (the No Country For Old Men) set, because every time I had the gun, when they called cut, I'd give it back and say, 'Take this s**t out of my hands!' There were laughing, like they couldn't believe I was supposed to be the villain.
