“I'm acting for the same reasons I wanted to become a diplomat. I've thought abou…” — Edgar Ramirez

I'm not an aggressive person at all. But I know how to fight.

My father was military, so I traveled a lot, so I had 13 to 15 first days in new schools. Bullies transcend culture, unfortunately, and I had to deal with them wherever I went. I knew how to defend myself. But I didn't know how to fight.

In order to understand the mindset of a boxer, I needed to become a boxer myself.

I think there's no creative process that goes without injuries and scratches and punches. You get beat up somehow, and that's part of the commitment. You have to be open to that.
