The litmus test for whether I want to take on a role or not is usually fear. If Im afraid of it, then I want to do it.

Living in Cuba made me unafraid of whatever could happen to me.

The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.

I think movies do change people's hearts.

I always feel like the editing room is like coming into the kitchen. What kind of a meal do you make from there? It can be anything.

I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.

I feel like, when the audience connects with something, they enjoy the experience so much that they want other people to go have it. They're like, "Don't talk about it. Don't tell. Just go!" It's a nice feeling to have people coming around it that way, protecting the ideas in it, so that everyone can see it for themselves.
