Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

I'm a complete hypochondriac. If my heart starts beating a little faster than normal, I think I'm having an attack.

When you're feeling very comfortable with an actor, you are doing nothing.

If you call a cat, he may not come. Which doesn't happen with dogs. They're different types of animals. Cats are very sexy I think too in the way they move.

I did my first movie, "The Mambo Kings," in America without speaking the language. I learned the lines phonetically. I had an interpreter actually just to understand directions from my director.

One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.

We're living in hard times.
