My Uncle, Who Was A Little More

I Listen To And I Play All Kinds Of Music, And I'm Interested In Jazz And In Bluegrass - I Like It All - But Cuban Music Speaks To Me In A Certain Way.

Cachao Is Obviously Cuban. He's Known For Traditional Cuban Music And That's The Music That I'm Most Passionate About. Cachao Is One Of The Greatest Innovators And Visionaries. At The Base Of The Tree, The Roots, There Is Cachao. So I Was Blessed To Have Had That Time To Learn From Him And To Give Him An Opportunity And A Space Where He Can Create. Everybody Always Wants To Play With Cachao, Because He's The Guy.

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.

The Executions, Persecution And Imprisonment Of Political Dissidents And The Lgbt Community, Denial Of Free Press, Elections And Religious Freedoms, Continue To Be Fidel Castro's Legacy.

If You Have The Right Actors And You Can Give Them The Freedom To Explore, You've Done A Lot Of Your Work As A Director.
