Andy Garcia (Actor)

"Commercial success, or the lack of it, means nothing to me. The audience's enjoyment of a film does not affect me as an actor. Artistic mishandling does." - Garcia to Bazaar, January 1996

"I like for my guys, my characters, to make some type of choice that shows responsibility. That's all. They don't have to be saints, by any means. I just want, I suppose, for them to make sense." - Garcia to the Chicago Tribune, May 23, 1997

"I was born with a cyst on my shoulder. My mother told me this story, and she has this tendency to exaggerate, but she said it had little arms and legs and hair and everything. Now this could be medically untrue, but she told me it was a twin that never developed. I always envisioned that if he lived, we would have been attached, like that movie 'How to Get Ahead in Advertising', where he just got an extra head. My mother said it was quite large, the size of a softball. They just snipped it off." - Garcia responding to Martha Frankel's query about playing twins and her recollection that someone had told her Garcia was a twin, from Movieline, September 1995

"I'm not interested in self-promotion." - Garcia quoted in GQ magazine, July 1995
