More quotes by Andy Garcia
Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself.
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
I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen.
Andy Garcia
I love doing voice-overs I wish I could do more of them. It's a lot of fun to see how they take the voice and animate it and try to capture your own expressions and features. It's fascinating.
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
They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.
Andy Garcia
A lot of things I try to instill in my children comes off of what I've learned from my parents. First of all, you have to lead by example. You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them. So I try to be the best example I can be to them.
Andy Garcia
Children need parameters, know what's right or wrong.
Andy Garcia
I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.
Andy Garcia
The promises of Fidel Castro's so-called revolution of pluralism and democracy, were and continue to be a false promise and a betrayal of all basic human rights.
Andy Garcia
Movies are very hard to make, to get it all to come together. So many people have their say in what the end product of films are.
Andy Garcia
I'm a staunch anti-Castro individual.
Andy Garcia
It's better not to work than to work in something you don't want to be working in.
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
If you want to experiment, do something temporary.
Andy Garcia
I stand as I always have with the Cuban people who love, cherish and celebrate liberty. Hard-working, helpful people who open their hearts and homes to all, whether in Cuba or in exile.
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
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 think good chemistry starts with mutual respect.
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
