I grew up with a lot of exiles from Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia - I grew up with them, and I gained a family; I gained friends.

I was brought up the Mexican way, where actors are paid very little and every part you take is an act of faith. If people respect that, then great.

The whole Baja California peninsula is an energetic place, and it's incredibly alive.

Theatricality is a concept. It's not a specific language.

Every decision that you make you have to be incredible congruent. It doesn't mean that you have to starve. If you need money, you do something that gives you money, that's normal.

I always wanted to act, but I never thought it would be my profession. I thought that I'd end up doing other things, but that in the meantime I'd do plays.

In Mexico, theater is very underground, so if you're a theater actor it's very difficult to make a living. But it's also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education.

I would love to work with Martin Scorsese.

I want to direct every now and then, but I don't want to be a director.

I've never cared for the idea of a career path, or where a film might 'take me.' My love is for acting not money, so I only take on roles that I find challenging, in stories I find interesting.
