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

When I was in college, my graduation thesis was called 'Female Directors.' I interviewed all of the important female directors from Mexico. There were four. That was it.

Chile's mines are very dangerous; the country has a lot of earthquakes.

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

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.
