'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.
I'm not surprised that Spielberg was able to capture the heroism of Schindler; so many of his movies are about the better part of mankind.
I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be.

I only respond to Telemundo when it's about novellas, in regards to music or movies they have nothing to do with it; that's mine.
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

Commercial movies have no feeling, no sensitivity. Most people tell me people won't understand films with feeling. But everyone can feel.
I don't care about being on top, about being No. 1. I just make movies for a few suckers in the audience, anyway.
I loved 'The Social Network.' I think it's one of those movies that will stand the test of time.
