Fear of the unknown is a great creative partner.

The creative process is mysterious; a conversation, a ride in the car, or a melody can trigger something.

I don't know if I have a career or not, or where it ends or it begins. I have been working, doing what I do for a long time. But my creative process has always been so tortuous.

When you have critics filing on Twitter, it leaves no time for thought and perspective.

Yes, I am a Mexican, and I have a past and a culture. But what matters is the film itself, not where it was financed or cast.

I have been very lucky to have final cut in all my films; everything that is wrong in them is my fault.
