I want to act because I don't know how to do anything else.

When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.

My first part was in a film where I played a sadomasochist who killed people and created fun orgies. I'm a method actor. I went to every orgy in the world.

I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

I'm a huge fan of the director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and his work, and I knew he was going to be an amazing actor's director, based on the performances that I saw in his movies.

When you know people are really at peace with who they are and what they do, they collaborate and want to help you to improve.
