I left my parents' home when I was 22, I moved to New York with my ex-girlfriend. We did a film together with Raul Julia.

One of the first things that my English teacher told when I began studying in New York was, You're here because if you pick it up from the street, not everyone speaks good English. And it happens all the time, anywhere. If you pick up Spanish from the streets, you're not going to be able to speak it correctly.

A lot of the things that I’ve learned in the past have been from dear friends. Rodriguez’s favorite line is “Fácil!” Easy! He makes things easy. He doesn’t complicate his life. He’s obsessed with perfection, but he makes it easy, and that’s pretty much the way I work as an actor.

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.

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.

I think it's very interesting how an American network chooses to tell this story. We don't name one country the good guy and the other country the bad guy. We talk about this co-responsibility that we share, in everything.

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.

The immigration issue is about the separation of families, and that is not human, in any country in the world, but especially in the United States. We should not root for a law that separates families.
Demian Bichir
I open my eyes and my ears, and that’s why I work.
Demian Bichir
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.

If you think about portraying Americans, for example, in a Russian film, it all depends on where the American is from, if they went to school or not, and if they're well-educated or not. Is it an American from Texas, or an American from Brooklyn? Things would change with the vocabulary and the accent.

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 hope people can stop believing everything politicians say about Mexico and the United States, and the problems that we share.

There is a film called 'A Separation.' If you see it playing, go see it. It's beautiful. It's so well written and the acting is amazing. It's one of those films that you would love to be a part of.

I grew up in the theater. I began my career at 3. That was the first time I stepped onto a provisional stage.

I like playing human beings - I don't believe in good or bad. I don't believe in black and white. I believe in different tonalities. I believe in different layers of emotions and states of mind. I believe in characters that can be human.
