Andy Garcia Said

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

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

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.
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

I wish we didn't have to tell this story.
Andy Garcia

I'm a staunch anti-Castro individual.
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've had my moments of insanity. But there is a certain responsibility to set proper examples for your children, and that influences your choices in every aspect of your life.
Andy Garcia

If you want to experiment, do something temporary.
Andy Garcia

It's better not to work than to work in something you don't want to be working in.
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

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

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

My uncle, who was a little more flamboyant, always said the guy who dressed the best was Fred Astaire.
Andy Garcia

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.
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

We didn't bring much out of Cuba. On the way to the airport they searched you and took everything, and then they put you on a plane.
Andy Garcia

You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.
