The women I love most are Latina - my sister, mother, and daughter. They're spontaneous but spend a majority of their time trying to make others happy.

I have lots of girlfriends - all over the country! You think I'm kidding? I'm dead serious. Girlfriends everywhere.

I try to give my kids everything I never had.

In Cuba you get a quarter of a chicken per month. They give you one bread per person a day. So, it makes your life really tough.

The relationship I have with my kids is beautiful.

When I was back in Cuba, who could have imagined I would be invited to the White House!

When I was a little boy, my dream was to play baseball and leave Cuba.

We are never taught more deeply and more truthfully than by pain.

I will follow anyone... and remind everyone... of the pain of the Yazidi women

It's easier to force feed people than it is to give 'em what they want. It makes more money.

I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

I just love the history of acting. It's such a beautiful craft and you absolutely get out of it what you put into it.

When I fell, some people were in such shock that they didn't reach out. They were so mad at me, rather than having compassion for what happened. I lost a lot of friends.

'Checks are coming in the mail regularly'... or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there... and get behind the feeling of having it.

And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

Even beyond sexuality, I'm generally interested in identity.
