Being at a film festival reminds me of the power of film. The power that we have in our hands. Telling specific stories about personal matters can start the debate that is needed today, and that connect you with realities that you had no idea were connected.

What we have in Mexico and Latin America is a wide diversity of voices, but in Mexico, for example, we haven't been able to get a lot of the movies into theaters.

Many of my favourite hotels are in London. I like the Covent Garden Hotel and I stayed at Blakes last time I was in London. I like the feeling of warmth and homeliness that you get from both of those places.

Before 'Y Tu Mama,' I did 16 movies that only my family got to see because I invited them to the premiere.

I think film is a world of directors. Theater is a world of actors.

I'm always going to be working on my English, and I'm always going to work on my English so that I can do different characters from different nationalities.

When I was growing up in the theater there were all these amazing girls telling me about the guy who broke their heart. And I was always wishing that it was me.

We have to accept the world has become this place where we have to interact with people who are very different from us.
Diego Luna -
If we put our differences aside, we can do great things.

It makes no sense that this country has 11 million workers feeding, building this country, making America what it is, and they don't share the same rights of those who are consuming the fruit of their labor.

The beauty of football is that it's about 11, and another five, at least, are sitting outside. You cannot get competitive.

In Mexico, you need to be a bulldog to make a movie because everything is set up for you to go back home and get depressed and not do the movie.
Diego Luna -
Mexico is where I fell in love for the first time; it's where my family lives... so however much I travel, I inevitably return there.

To me, war is so far from something I understand.

I connect much more with theatre actors than with cinema actors - insofar as you can speak of 'cinema actors' in Mexico, because there isn't a big film industry.

There's a big debate in the U.S. about immigration reform. We need to reflect on who's feeding this country today, why this community has been ignored.
Diego Luna -
In Mexico, we call it 'terco': the guy who goes out every day, and every day they tell him no, and the next day he's there, and the next day he's there. That's the kind of people who make movies in Mexico.

I've always wanted to be a part of the 'Star Wars' world; the films were very important to me. All my older cousins were huge fans, and I wanted to belong to that community.

When I saw 'Incendios,' it changed the way I looked at my life... and my family. It was very strong. I believe that theater has that power.

I always liked Darth Vader. I remember, when I was a kid, I went to the toy store for the Darth Vader pencil case. I took that to school for years.

I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.
