Ana de Armas

I want to try as many different roles as I can. I want to do everything. ”

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. ”

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'm ambitious in a good way. I've never wanted to settle as long as I've thought there's more. ”

I don't like feeling stuck, like I'm not going anywhere. ”

I think I had 'Super Mario' and 'Tetris' around, and that's it. ”

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. ”

When you have three days to work on a scene, you can give all that love to the movie. ”

I know it sounds like I'm playing all these wives and girlfriends, but they're not waiting at home. I wear the pants. ”

This business - the auditions, the anxiety - it's all so, aaah, crazy! But I can always call my mom in Cuba to be reminded of what real life is. ”
