Colombian humor is very black, very sarcastic.
Every ten years there is a new generation of actors.
Every time, I try to make something different.
Hallucinatory - that's just the way everyday life is, in Colombia. All the time, you say to yourself, did I just see that?
I chose to treat the homosexuality like I would treat any other form of sexuality.
I try not to have favorites, but Barfly is one that I like. My favorite is always the one I just finished.
I'd never make any kind of judgment on any form of human sexuality. I'd never treat it with irony or make it campy.
I'm very proud of every movie I've done there and that I've been able to do the movies the way I want them done.
I've been following what's happening in Colombia because it's the country of my childhood.
In the case of Our Lady of the Assassins, it was like finding a soul brother, and as with Barfly, it was just about helping the writer to write in cinematic terms.
When you kill somebody in the movies, it matters, whereas in literature it can be allegorical.
Truth will flourish in fantasy, only to wither and die in what you are pleased to call reality.
