It's a cliche, but Americans are puritanical. In their movies, they are scared of sex, but they overindulge in violence. I could have cut a G-rated version of 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' that would have pleased the American ratings board, but it would have been five minutes long.

I love that process in which there is no safety net. Then the actor also can allow mistakes, because there's no such a thing as a mistake.

I find that it is fantastic, and for me it is easier than for the actors.
