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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I'm a staunch anti-Castro individual.

They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.

If you want to experiment, do something temporary.

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

I don't control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.

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.

Every family is dysfunctional.

Everybody has a dream, and everybody knows people who have a dream that they don't want to share with anybody because they're too embarrassed to share.

Freedom is not negotiable.

I don't think lying has any ultimate justification. I don't think it ever leads to anything positive. The good fight to have is not to lie. That's one of the challenges in a way.

I love to cook, and my wife loves to cook. Sometimes it's the appeal of the simplest of dishes - things you've grown up with in your life. Your emotional memory - something that not only affects your taste buds but that you've got an emotional attachment to.

I think it's most important for children to understand the concept of respect and manners and also work ethic. I have a responsibility to those who came before me.

I'm an exile. My father had the courage to leave with his wife, his mother and three children under twelve. It took more courage to leave, to sacrifice everything for freedom, than to stay.

In a marriage, in any long-term relationship, not to bother with lying. There's no time for that. If you have any sort of secret life, it will come back to haunt you.

The reality is that the work I do is not private work. I bring all my secrets, my life, to my work. Anybody who's seen my work knows everything about me.

When you commit to something, you don't want to let your fellow people and yourself down.

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

You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.

You can never have too much ketchup, 'cause it's a food group.

Anytime you do something in this arena, whether it's public records or ethics, it's not like throwing a stone in a quiet pond. It's like throwing a boulder.

It was the cholesterol. I had two fried eggs a day for breakfast. I had no checkups for five years. I kept meaning to go. The doctor would probably say it was years of bad living. I've always had a good time. Maybe I've had too good a time.

Eat kale sometimes, but skip it as a trend.

In many places where coffee is grown, deforestation is a major issue.

Someone who feels appreciated will always be and do more than expected. This holds true in love and business.

Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.

It's taken a while, but I've finally grown up and got my head around the fact that the healthier the food you eat is and the more exercise you do, the lighter you'll be. It really is that simple.

Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.

A lot of the films I've made probably could have worked just as well 50 years ago, and that's just because I have a lot of old-fashion values.

I think Ewen Bremner is incredible.

I don't think we spend enough time in reflection and introspection. We don't know who we are as individuals in this culture anymore.

One person's trauma is another's loss of innocence.

Because I'm on the runway with some of the best models in the industry.

A Step Father means so many things... an understanding heart, a source of strength and of support, right from the very start.

It's difficult on a ship to get away from your job because that accommodation house, which is where seafarers live, is their workplace, it's where they live, it's where they relax, it's everything, and it's just hard to get away. And seafarers often refer to their job as being in prison with a salary.
