More quotes by Andy Garcia
If you have the right actors and you can give them the freedom to explore, you've done a lot of your work as a director.
Andy Garcia
I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything. I just want (the audience) to have an experience that moves them.
Andy Garcia
My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don't know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre.
Andy Garcia
It depends. When it's the right scenario, it's just as stimulating and just as exciting for me. It's just a question of finding a piece of material that lights a fire under you.
Andy Garcia
I listen to and I play all kinds of music, and I'm interested in jazz and in bluegrass - I like it all - but Cuban music speaks to me in a certain way.

Fidel Castro claimed that history would absolve him, but it can also condemn him.
Andy Garcia
My grandfather was a very elegant individual. My father also. He was a lawyer and farmer in Cuba. In Miami, he had to go to work wherever he could. But whenever it was time to go out, you saw how they cared for how they looked.
Andy Garcia
The size of budgets does not alter my decision if I should do it. If there's a movie with a budget of only $1 million that I find interesting, then I'll sign up, but it has to be in the hands of a director who can do something with it. Ultimately, it's a director's medium.
Andy Garcia
I'm not hooked on cognac, but I've enjoyed it over the years.
Andy Garcia
Becoming a producer enables you to empower yourself, to make the film that you want to make. I have desires to make movies - I have movies I'm developing, and things that I'm interested in.
Andy Garcia
I think if the movie has resonance and stimulates the viewer to talk about it, you can have as large an audience as you want. The most important thing for me is that the movie exists. And that's success enough already.
Andy Garcia
Freedom was taken away from my family until we landed in America and it was given back to us.
Andy Garcia
It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey.
Andy Garcia
My son loves my carbonara. I've tried to master that recipe - it's very simple but very delicate. Once prepared it must be eaten quickly.
Andy Garcia
The executions, persecution and imprisonment of political dissidents and the LGBT community, denial of free press, elections and religious freedoms, continue to be Fidel Castro's legacy.
Andy Garcia
You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.
Andy Garcia
Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go.
Andy Garcia
I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.
