Ana de Armas

I want to show how strong and smart women are. We go through so much. We need to see that on screen. Those female parts are not many, but they are out there, and I have to find some. I want that chance.

I didn\'t get to play many video games when I was growing up.

I\'ve tried to choose roles where women are not just reacting or waiting for something to happen.

I like vaporous clothing with flowers and colors.

I am not a person who plans things in advance.

The sets were incredible. You would walk in at 6 in the morning, and we were really living in \'Blade Runner.\'

I want to do everything and beyond. I want to create impact.

I always need to keep moving.

Moving to L.A. was hard. I had a career in Spain, and you have to forget your ego. I was a nobody again.

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

My grandparents were from Spain, and I had a Spanish passport.

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.

I\'m very impatient. I always want more.

My childhood memories are amazing; I had freedom in every way - but I see everything from a different perspective now that I live outside.
