I could talk about him all day. He's the Mozart of Cuban music,
I was a banquet waiter at the Beverly Hilton hotel. You learn a lot when you're in the service industry-the jerks of the world really come to the fore. It's a valuable learning experience to be in the position where you're of service to someone who sometimes doesn't even know you're there.
I live in a house full of women, dolls and conga drums!
In the '40s and '50s, Havana was the Paris of the Caribbean. Everyone was always well-dressed.
It's really about the resilience of the human spirit.
A lot of people don't know about Cuban history, and I don't expect them to.
It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey.
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.
There's good movies and there's bad movies. The genres are never dead, it's just about how to apply them and articulate them and execute them - the story, the quality of the writing, the acting, the design elements, the directorial execution - all these things make it what it is.
When I met him, he seemed to me a humble man who spoke through his music, and that's the way he's always been, ... He dedicated his life to his music and his art, which transcends cultures and even age.
