-
I am not a person who plans things in advance.
-
I want to show how strong and smart women are. We go through so much. We need to see that on screen. Those female parts are not many, but they are out there, and I have to find some. I want that chance.
-
You can always go back to the place where you were comfortable, the place where you're from.
-
I don't want to be in the spotlight, ever! I don't know why I got in this profession!
-
It's hard to explain to my parents what's going on. You can't compare Hollywood with Cuba. I didn't even know I could dream this.
-
When you get to Hollywood, you have to start from zero, whatever you've done before.
-
I want to try as many different roles as I can. I want to do everything.
-
I normally speak by moving my hands, and I'm very expressive with my face - something Cuban, I guess.
-
I think I had 'Super Mario' and 'Tetris' around, and that's it.
-
When I moved to L.A. and had my first meeting with my agents, they asked me what I wanted for my career. And I didn't speak English at the time, but I did say, 'I wanna be Ryan Gosling as a woman.' So I got very excited to play opposite him.
-
When I was twelve, I heard about the National Theater School, and I told my parents, 'That's what I want to do.' And that was it.
-
I don't like feeling stuck, like I'm not going anywhere.
-
At some point, I would like to start creating my own things. If people don't write the scripts I like, then I will do my own.
-
I don't mind playing someone's girlfriend or wife if I have something to say, if I bring something to the picture, if I can be strong and powerful and say smart things. If not, then it's just boring.
-
I can't stay in one place for too long.
-
I prefer flat shoes and comfort: I feel more like myself.
-
The truth is that I'm not very disciplined with diets. In general, I do whatever makes me happy in life, and food makes me quite happy!
-
I'm very impatient. I always want more.
-
I like vaporous clothing with flowers and colors.
-
I moved to Madrid with 200 bucks in my pocket to see what was going to happen. Of course, I didn't know that 200 euros was nothing, because in Cuba, 200 was a lot, and the money I had been saving from my movies.
