Quote by Ana Maria Santuario

“It was on these sets that he realized he was more guarded than he'd always imagined himself, and how easy how tempting, it was to begin to believe that the life of the set -- where everything was fetched for you, and where the sun could literally be made to shine on you -- was actual life”

“Reality is a cover up method of pretending and in the backstage repeating all the faults of human history: torture, murders, inequality, injustice, unfairness. They make you hail them, condemn their opponents and then they kill you.”
