No matter how prosaic something is that you've done and been a part of again and again, there is so much more there that you haven't seen.
I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.
Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul.
I think it's nice to let people know that there is an invisible part of the world. I think there are many people now who are interested in the invisible world.
'FlashForward' was a dream come true. I had auditioned for David Goyer for 'Blade: Trinity' and didn't get the part, but I guess he became a fan.
