I think the problems with being older come when your body cannot do what your mind wants. Then, Houston, we have a problem.

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.

I don't think there is a guy that played more gay characters than I have done in my life.

As much as you know it, and you know the method, you can pretty much do what you want. No idea is going to be shot down. You just put it in the garbage later. You have to say the lines in many different ways. So they have a lot of material to work.

Always when you go to a new country and they teach you bad words, you just say them without knowing the value and people look at you because you didn't know that value of them.

When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.

I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
