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.

Children need parameters, know what's right or wrong.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
