Interview by Eva Mendoza for Spain Culture New York. Consulate General of Spain in New York.

Quote: "there are two parallel cities: the city of tourists, and the city of the residents. The city of the tourists never intermingles with the city of the residents. The tourists ride around in a double-decker bus, through a select segment of the city, they buy what they must buy, they go to the MoMA and Abercrombie and Fitch and the NBA store to buy their own jersey, and go home happy. They do not crisscross with the daily life of the city, which is absolutely different."

Interview by Eva Mendoza for Spain Culture New York. Consulate General of Spain in New York.

Quote: "I love Spain more from the United States, it weighs less, and from this vantage point you appreciate it better. In New York I feel freer and more like me, more naked and that gives me more strength and greater liberty of movement, and above all, of thoughts. I love disappearing in the midst of my studio and feeling the complicity of everyone's silence. In Spain something like that would be a luxury."

Quote: "My idea was to finish the doctorate program and return to Galicia, but I finished in 2008 and I am still here. This city has something that either captures or alienates you... I've been captured."

Quote: "I am not going to say Madrid is like a village, because it isn't, but when it comes to developing my career as a filmmaker it is both in New York and in Los Angeles where I am going to find the possibilities to do the type of film I want to do."
