Andy Garcia's Quotes

• You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.
• Freedom is not negotiable.
• They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.
• I never applied to go back to Cuba. They did invite me to the Havana Film Festival, but I am opposed to the regime in Cuba. I'd have liked to go back every day of my life. But in honor of all the people who have died and suffered under that regime, I'm not able to make that leap.
• I'm an exile. My father had the courage to leave with his wife, his mother and three children under twelve. It took more courage to leave, to sacrifice everything for freedom, than to stay.
