I wasn't a fan of boxing, I was a fan of Julio Cesar Chavez. All of Mexico stopped to watch his fights. Old, young, left, right and centre.
Quote by -Diego Luna
In a movie, you work three months to tell a story that happens in two hours. In a Mexican soap opera, you work one day to make a story that's an hour and a half. So you can see the difference in the quality of the project.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I would pretty much like to forget the music that happened to me between the ages of eight and 11, so I'm going to say the first album I bought was the special edition of 'Dark Side of the Moon.'
Quote by -Diego Luna
Most people are living a life they don't like. They go to work where they don't want to work.
Quote by -Diego Luna
We consumers have to send a message every day of what we want and what we don't.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I grew up watching cinema in my country that wasn't telling stories about us, and we had to find a way to connect, and our references, our role models had nothing to do with us. And I'm so glad that it's changing.
Quote by -Diego Luna
With many things in life, you're there because there's a cute girl around that you want to go out with, and you end up finding magic. You end up not caring about the girl but wanting to stay there because of what you found. That happened with 'Amarcord' to me.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I hate fights. I try to talk people out of fighting if I can and if they start I run away.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I don't have this feeling like, 'Oh, I want to live in the United States and make movies and become famous just because the money is here.' I like to make movies that tell stories that I care about.
Quote by -Diego Luna
When I was growing up in the theater there were all these amazing girls telling me about the guy who broke their heart. And I was always wishing that it was me.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I'm always going to be working on my English, and I'm always going to work on my English so that I can do different characters from different nationalities.
Quote by -Diego Luna
My dad was a theater designer, and I spent a lot of time hanging around the dressing room listening to whatever the actors were listening to, which is where I heard Pink Floyd for the first time.
Quote by -Diego Luna
There's a big debate in the U.S. about immigration reform. We need to reflect on who's feeding this country today, why this community has been ignored.
Quote by -Diego Luna
When I was 12, I used to be the best friend of the most beautiful girls, but just the best friend. They would always come to me to cry about a guy who broke their heart, and I would just be sitting there thinking, 'I wish I was the guy and not the best friend.'
Quote by -Diego Luna
I was the happiest kid ever, but I did choose to live around adults and today, now that I have a kid, I don't know if I would let him do it.
Quote by -Diego Luna
For me, the relationship with my father is the most important thing that I have.
Quote by -Diego Luna
When I was a kid, if I liked something from merchandising, I'd have to go to the toy store.
Quote by -Diego Luna
The first fight I ever saw live was the first Castillo-Corrales match in Las Vegas in 2005.
Quote by -Diego Luna
When I saw 'Incendios,' it changed the way I looked at my life... and my family. It was very strong. I believe that theater has that power.
Quote by -Diego Luna
The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that people must have felt when they first heard Led Zeppelin. They have the same kind of power.
Quote by -Diego Luna
Many of my favourite hotels are in London. I like the Covent Garden Hotel and I stayed at Blakes last time I was in London. I like the feeling of warmth and homeliness that you get from both of those places.
Quote by -Diego Luna
Every time I come to the States, I wish people would react to war like they react to tobacco, for example. Because war really kills in a second lots of people, thousands of people.
Quote by -Diego Luna
You exorcise the things that haunt you. That's one good thing about any artistic discipline.
Quote by -Diego Luna
When I was a teenager, I went on an organised three-day tour of Rome. It was the worst experience ever. I promised myself that I would never travel like that again, with someone telling you what to see and what not to see.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I hope we see more stories where the heroes are real heroes, real people that don't need weapons or super powers to change people's lives.
Quote by -Diego Luna
What we have in Mexico and Latin America is a wide diversity of voices, but in Mexico, for example, we haven't been able to get a lot of the movies into theaters.
Quote by -Diego Luna
As producers, we choose who to work with and what films to get involved with. There's no rule, but it has to come from an honest place. It has to come from a necessity.
Quote by -Diego Luna
We should be talking about celebrating our differences, understanding that those differences make us richer and stronger.
Quote by -Diego Luna
It's tough to say where I live. There are some bills that get to the house in L.A., some to the house in Mexico, and some to the house of my father - so I never lose track of those.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I would say doing film is all about trust and conviction. It's about believing in an idea.
Quote by -Diego Luna
In theater, you are there, you have a character, you have a play, you have a light, you have a set, you have an audience, and you're in control, and every night is different depending on you and the relationship with the other actors. It's as simple as that.
Quote by -Diego Luna
Definitely directing is the thing I like the most because this is where everything you know can be used. It's the most personal process ever. It's the most demanding one, but again, rewarding.
Quote by -Diego Luna
We live in a classist, racist, homophobic society into which we are very assimilated, that's all. I'm not really proud about that.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.
Quote by -Diego Luna
You don't want to disappoint anybody, but you know, you lose your voice by trying to please everyone.
Quote by -Diego Luna
I didn't go to university, and so, every time that I work, I'm looking for a teacher in a way. I'm looking for people that I can learn from and to have the chance to work with people that I admire.
Quote by -Diego Luna
Being at a film festival reminds me of the power of film. The power that we have in our hands. Telling specific stories about personal matters can start the debate that is needed today, and that connect you with realities that you had no idea were connected.
Quote by -Diego Luna
Many times when you're a tourist you can just stay on the surface and not really experience the place you're visiting, which will probably leave you disappointed. Everywhere has something interesting; it's just about being curious enough to find it and scratch where you have to scratch and stay longer and walk further.
