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

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.

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.

It's saved many a guy from wives, girlfriends, whatever.

They have it in their minds that their wives or girlfriends get red roses.
