What was it like playing a woman?
It's like getting out this side of you, which is very peculiar to every person. Each of us has our own inner transvestite, and it only belongs to you, and it's very fun to play that and explore that.
Why's that?
We're so stuck up every day and this is a way of relaxing and making you know who you are better.
What was most challenging part of it?
To play the girl it was a good three, four hours of makeup every day. That's pretty exhausting. Over and over. And the thongs, and the waxing!
You actually went out to a real-life club dressed as a woman?
She (Bernal in drag) was very sure of herself, so it was kind of fun. But once up-close, it's (clear she's) a man. Sometimes men liked (that) as well!
You also did the sexually explicit Y Tu Mama Tambien. You must like controversy.
Whenever the personal point of view – which I think is the essence of film – comes across and strikes a chord, it will become controversial because it sparks a debate. Some people might be angry, some people not, and that's what films are about.
