“I generally prefer to stay quiet before a performance. I don’t like television cameras, but an interview is OK.”

I sustained an injury by singing with the flu during the second performance of Andrea Chenier in Buenos Aires.

I had and my voice was hurt. It was scary at first, but fortunately there was no permanent damage. I just had to be patient and wait for the voice to return. It took six weeks of physical recuperation and it took time to recover my confidence as well.

Figure out what you’re passionate about. If you’re not passionate about something, go find it. Because we do not need more unengaged boring people to inhabit this planet.

It is funny, I don’t feel old enough to give advice… But with the advisers you trust, you better listen to them. It may be bad news but that’s the only way you’re going to improve.

I am learning to be more vulnerable and open on stage. This comes with the development of my acting abilities.

I was very sick, with chills and sweats, but against my better judgement I let them talk me into singing. Of course I gave the performance everything

I’m very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour.

It really is a pleasure to work with someone who you admire. Whatever you do in front of the camera, and I don’t know what it is, but actors have this thing that you recognize someone that makes you better. When you do that, it’s a great feeling.

I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.

I’ve fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

Here’s the beauty of a camera: you don’t have to come up with words for what you’re looking at… Maybe another angle is needed sometimes. When we’re burned out from writing, we can photograph or draw, look at the world in a different way, and photographers could try writing what they see.

…I use primal imagery, so maybe it’s fitting that I use the most primitive of cameras [pinhole cameras]. Since there’s no viewfinder, the image is much more of a surprise – as if some outsider came and looked at earth for the first time.

You can assume all photo and video is constructed as a fiction controlled by the person holding the camera and the person who is editing.

There is an aggression implicit in every use of the camera.
