Catch me, I’ve fallen in love for the first time.

I was asked to go to Cannes to present Amores Perros. And little did I know that this film would be huge. I saw it for the first time in Cannes, and it was the first time I’d seen myself on such a big screen. And it had a huge impact on me – it was the strangest feeling.

I had a work ethic forced into me from the very first time I worked in a professional kitchen. I learned that you can’t do this job with half your mind.
