"It’s very difficult to raise money, especially in the United States, for independent movies." ― Gael Garcia Bernal Topic(s): Movies More From Gael Garcia Bernal "Mexican food is far more varied than people think. It changes like dialects. I was brought up in Jalisco by the sea on a basic diet – tomatoes, chillis, peppers of every size and rice, which is a Mexican staple. The Pacific coast has a huge array of seafood." "In Mexico you have death very close. That’s true for all human beings because it’s a part of life, but in Mexico, death can be found in many things." "In Mexico, theater is very underground, so if you’re a theater actor it’s very difficult to make a living. But it’s also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education." More In Movies "I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights."― Frank Miller "In the Russian experience, although the Russian state is oppressive, it is their state, it is part of their fabric, and so the relation between Russian citizens and their state is complicated."― Ryszard Kapuscinski "In the past I’ve made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can’t really hate them. You can discard them, but you can’t really hate them."― Ang Lee
