I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

And that's why I chose on purpose not to have a death scene. We've seen them in a million movies and it's too much like cranking the tears out. I didn't want that scene.

I've never had Internet access. Actually, I have looked at things on other people's computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I've opened email accounts, twice actually, but it's something I don't want in my life right now.

This is not the Chile we want to build.

That's why I made a comeback in 1988. I knew there were chances of not making it, but I didn't want to end up at sixty years old and say I should have tried when I was thirty-eight.

My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect.

I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived.

I'm going to make it. Nothing is going to stop me. Nothing. I want it too much.

I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.

As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am.

It's natural to want your kids to have all the things you didn't have.

If you have music you want to play that no one asks you to play, you have to go out and find where you can play it. It's called do or die.

Some people really want to play Mozart and be just performers. I was more interested in invention.

People don't want to suffer. They want to sound good immediately, and this is one of the biggest problems in the world.
