"Oh God, yes. Cheers. It teaches you that the camera is a weapon that can be deployed brilliantly. What is beautiful about I Am Cuba is that, as showy as it is, it’s not style for no point. It’s an expansive vision of the rot that we brought to Cuba. Whether you agree with its politics or not, it’s not really the issue; it’s really human, and you understand… Well, a poet wrote it. Yevgeny Yevtushenko wrote it. You understand the humanity of the people in it. Whether they are subject to humiliation, or to the humiliation of capitalism, well, that’s almost secondary to their own inner lives. The movie validates their inner lives, and the camera is a weapon in doing so. Beautiful."

"Jerry Maguire is number two for me. Again, not in any particular order. I just recently showed it to my two kids, and it was such a treat to experience it through them for the first time. I love Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is my all time favorite actor. We’re desperate to work with him. Cuba is so good, and it’s so emotional. I found myself crying in front of my children while we watched the movie again. It’s such an emotional love story. It’s a love story between Tom and Cuba, and obviously between Renee and Tom. Arizona Cardinals are our home, so again, great, great movie. It feels real. It feels like it’s a snapshot into their lives. Again, that’s why I’m so emotional watching it. Oh, I love it so much."
