I think what happened to me was that I was always being taught to look, but one day I started to see. And it was because a lot of women in my life were refusing just to be looked at, to be this passive figure.

I just want some space to myself every now and then. Every time I’m with you I have this sense that you want something from me.

Mexico City is the center of art and culture and politics and has been and continues to be for Latin America in a way that I think really called to me as an artistic person, as someone that was interested in the politics of Latin America, you know.

Nobody warned me that when you fall in love, you really fall in love forever.
