I could talk about him all day. He's the Mozart of Cuban music,
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.
She is Cuba. If you want to love her, you have to be with her, but you can't be with her in her current state. It's the point of view of all exiles - you have to leave the thing you cherish most.
A lot of people don't know about Cuban history, and I don't expect them to.
This celebration means a lot to me because I owe all in my life to the cultural heritage I came from, specifically Cuban American but also Hispanic American. What gets you through the daily struggle of pursuing that dream is rooted in cultural heritage.
I still have a leather jacket my brother wore in the '60s. It doesn't fit me, but I figure maybe it'll fit my daughter.
From then on, it was forever looking for a home. But there was never any real fire to make the movie within the system.
So for directors, actors, producers, writers-whoever encompasses the creative elements of a film-you have a hit, everyone's happy, and you're the hottest thing in the world. But if the movie doesn't open, then those realities do come into play.
There's good movies and there's bad movies. The genres are never dead, it's just about how to apply them and articulate them and execute them - the story, the quality of the writing, the acting, the design elements, the directorial execution - all these things make it what it is.
When you explore a scene, the most important thing is who to cast.
It's impossible for everybody to be in sync, even the most proper family.
It's looking to the end of an era it's about having to leave the thing you most cherish. It's a celebration of a culture that I hold very dear.
I've known Ellen for years. I think she's a great actress.
It's fun doing something different each year, ... There's something about testing yourself athletically that makes all of it fun.
