I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.
Since 'Y Tu Mama Tambien,' I started to spend a lot of time in the United States, and my son was born there.
I always liked Darth Vader. I remember, when I was a kid, I went to the toy store for the Darth Vader pencil case. I took that to school for years.
I was the happiest kid ever, but I did choose to live around adults and today, now that I have a kid, I don't know if I would let him do it.
I can sing 'Love Me Do,' very well.
I would pretty much like to forget the music that happened to me between the ages of eight and 11, so I'm going to say the first album I bought was the special edition of 'Dark Side of the Moon.'
When I was a teenager, I went on an organised three-day tour of Rome. It was the worst experience ever. I promised myself that I would never travel like that again, with someone telling you what to see and what not to see.
I wasn't a fan of boxing, I was a fan of Julio Cesar Chavez. All of Mexico stopped to watch his fights. Old, young, left, right and centre.
Julio Cesar Chavez is the most important sporting figure we have ever had.
To me, war is so far from something I understand.
Audiences want to feel represented, want to be able to empathize with the characters and the stories they are seeing on the screen.
Most people are living a life they don't like. They go to work where they don't want to work.
The life of Cesar Chavez is a story that must be told. He was a man who dedicated his life to accomplishing change in a community that really needed it. He helped a community that was being poorly treated by instilling confidence and providing them with dignity.
When I saw 'Incendios,' it changed the way I looked at my life... and my family. It was very strong. I believe that theater has that power.
California is one of the strongest states with one of the solidest economies but, at the same time, ignores the reality of its farm workers.
When I was growing up in the theater there were all these amazing girls telling me about the guy who broke their heart. And I was always wishing that it was me.
My dad was a theater designer, and I spent a lot of time hanging around the dressing room listening to whatever the actors were listening to, which is where I heard Pink Floyd for the first time.
We should be talking about celebrating our differences, understanding that those differences make us richer and stronger.
Definitely directing is the thing I like the most because this is where everything you know can be used. It's the most personal process ever. It's the most demanding one, but again, rewarding.
All your acts affect all the people, people that you don't even know. So we have to live with responsibility. We have to live knowing that we're not the only ones here and you're affecting somebody else always.
