We have a demon, we have an angel inside, within our souls, and you just play with it, and sometimes the evil part of you wins the battle, in a very important decision, or in a bedtime, with your lover. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
I'm an old-fashioned guy.
I believe in characters that can be tangible, and that you can actually relate to.
Lincoln' is a powerful film. It's one of those epic films that talk about this very specific issue in history of the United States.
There are some actors that are so gifted, that move you in such a way that every time you see their names again, you go and pay another ticket because you want to have that experience again.
The real secret to guacamole is that you use exactly the elements that you need, which is cilantro, onion, tomato, and jalapenos. And, of course, avocado.
I hope people can stop believing everything politicians say about Mexico and the United States, and the problems that we share.
Scarlett Johansson. I think people don't really realize how great of an actress that girl is. She's so beautiful and that distracts you from what she can do as an actor.
One wants to think that - and this is really a stupid thought - that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else's lives and thoughts or whatever.
I wanted to give my actor a break. I wanted to live and to learn English. I wanted to be anything, a cabdriver, a busboy, anything to keep me away from acting for a while.
When I met Quentin [Tarantino], he told me what every actor wishes from any director. He said, "I've been through a Demián Bichir marathon. I've watched everything you've done." Most of the time, they don't even know what you've done.
You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
When you shoot a film, you have very little time to waste, and I try to go into the character as soon as possible and stay there as much as I can.
When you do a film, all you want is to make the best film possible. You don't think about Oscars. But it's really flattering. Please, bring it on!
