I live in Spain. Oscars are something that are on TV Sunday night. Basically, very late at night. You don't watch, you just read the news after who won or who lost.

We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.

The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.

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

I've always belonged to the street, and I always will. It's in my DNA.

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.

Everybody in Spain is sick of me. But in America, there's curiosity about the new kid on the block who doesn't speak English very well. The attention makes me feel vulnerable, which is something I hadn't felt in a while. But I like it.
