Everywhere in the world, we're aware that democracy has incredible flaws and that the word has been used, especially in the United States, to wage wars. Gael Garcia Bernal awaredemocracyflaw Change image and share on social
In Mexico, audiences want to see a big discussion around a film - what we expect from Hollywood films worldwide is more of an entertaining show. 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' was a road movie and comedy, but it had a very strong political connotation that sparked a discussion in Mexico that is still going on.

I don't know, a lot of people go crazy about 'Breaking Bad,' but I don't like the soap opera aspect of it and only following one character. I like the context to all of it, all the pieces, like 'The Wire.' It's more about the state of things; it's not about the narrative of a person. Gael Garcia Bernal aspectbadbreak share on social
There is something about the live performance of an orchestra that makes it very different to a film. With a film, you can rewrite it in a way with the material you have, and in rehearsals, you're really trying out different things. In an orchestra, you can't do that. They separate as soon as the performance factor comes into play. Gael Garcia Bernal factorfilmlive share on social
Let's not give the electoral process so much importance. We have to be cynical about it. Let's give importance to the real democracy that's constructed on a day-to-day basis. That's my hopeful perspective on it. Gael Garcia Bernal basisconstructcynical share on social

Little remnants from everywhere I've been are scattered around my home. I collect rocks in a weird way, with stones from around the world as mementos. I've also got three haranas, which are little guitars. Gael Garcia Bernal collectguitarharanas share on social
Recently I've been doing risottos. Some of them have been amazing. Some of them, not all of them. Gael Garcia Bernal amazehaverecently Change image and share on social
When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match. Gael Garcia Bernal catalystchangecinema share on social
Los Cabos has been an amalgam of many cultures that have been coming here. There have been beautiful Jesuit missions for example, in many places around this area. The towns are incredible. But there is a very strong Mexicanized culture here that exists because people from different parts of Mexico have come to live here. Gael Garcia Bernal amalgamareabeautiful share on social
