I love the Kathryn Bigelow example: she didn't just do war movies - she did them better than other directors.

I love getting people's opinion of what I'm doing.

I think the three Mexican directors that came before me did a very good job in Hollywood because they came in and started directing things like 'Harry Potter.'

I think the three Mexican directors - Alejandro Inarritu, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro - gave all of us foreign, and particularly Latino, directors a big break.

I do find that it's easier to get Latino-themed movies... but I don't think there's that stigma anymore. I think that what's harder is to be a woman, not to be a Latina.

There are a lot of female directors in documentary, very talented. But it's always lower budget.
