Andy Garcia

You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.

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.

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.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I love Hindi films.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
