Really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I've always found my way through it in different ways.

Taking it as a whole, Mexico is a grand city, and, as Cortes truly said, its situation is marvellous.

As a city, it is always compelling. But every day in Mexico City, I give thanks that I am alive.

The most dynamic cities have always been immersed in the critical innovations of their time.

Mexico has experimented with political change since the late 1980s.

Mexico is a mosaic of different realities and beauties.

I should say many things. Mexico has been one of the losers of the 20th century. We tried many different alternatives to development and unfortunately we have 40 percent of the population poor; we have a per capita income that is extremely low.

There's something magical about Oaxaca and the vibe of the people.

I had been to New Mexico many times. I loved it. It's a very exotic, interesting, severely crazy environment. I don't know if I could live there all year. It's such an intense place.

I feel absolutely no threat or fear in Mexico City.
