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.
- Andy Garcia Quote

Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself.
- Andy Garcia Quote

Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go.
- Andy Garcia Quote

I go where I’m stimulated. If I’m stimulated, I show up. As Mick Jagger sings: “It’s my life and I’ll do what I want.”

I started in comedy when I first started as an actor on stage and doing improvisational theater and stuff like that. So a lot of people who know me know that sort of side of me. But I got the roles that I got as an young actor kind of steered me in a different direction, which were, at times, darker characters. And so comedy was not something that came easy for people to think of my in those terms.

I think if the movie has resonance and stimulates the viewer to talk about it, you can have as large an audience as you want. The most important thing for me is that the movie exists. And that's success enough already.

I was a big fan of Joe’s film, Narc, so when you hear there’s a script coming over from Joe Carnahan, you know it’s going to be interesting because he has such a fresh voice.

I wish we didn't have to tell this story.
- Andy Garcia Quote

I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen.
- Andy Garcia Quote

I've had my moments of insanity. But there is a certain responsibility to set proper examples for your children, and that influences your choices in every aspect of your life.
- Andy Garcia Quote

It depends. When it's the right scenario, it's just as stimulating and just as exciting for me. It's just a question of finding a piece of material that lights a fire under you.

It's better not to work than to work in something you don't want to be working in.
- Andy Garcia Quote

Movies are very hard to make, to get it all to come together. So many people have their say in what the end product of films are.
- Andy Garcia Quote

My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don't know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre.
- Andy Garcia Quote

My uncle, who was a little more flamboyant, always said the guy who dressed the best was Fred Astaire.

She is Cuba. If you want to love her, you have to be with her, but you can't be with her in her current state. It's the point of view of all exiles - you have to leave the thing you cherish most.
- Andy Garcia Quote

The size of budgets does not alter my decision if I should do it. If there’s a movie with a budget of only $1 million that I find interesting, then I’ll sign up, but it has to be in the hands of a director who can do something with it. Ultimately, it’s a director’s medium.

They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.
