More quotes by Andy Garcia
I go where I'm stimulated. If I'm stimulated, I show up. As Mick Jagger sings: It's my life and I'll do what I want.
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
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 think good chemistry starts with mutual respect.
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 pray for what I have always prayed for: the restoration of our constitution and absolute freedom for the people of Cuba. That dream is very much alive, that fight is very much alive.
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 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 hooked on cognac, but I've enjoyed it over the years.
Andy Garcia
I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.
Andy Garcia
I am a traditional man. I'm a product of a traditional man. He sacrificed everything for his family.
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
I'm a staunch anti-Castro individual.
Andy Garcia
Children need parameters, know what's right or wrong.
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
You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.
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.
