I live in London and I am a British subject, although I do write in Spanish, of course.

I do not believe in inspiration, but I must have a title in order to work, otherwise I am lost.

But I do not have the reader in mind when I write. No true writer does that.

My parents were founders of the Cuban Communist Party, and I grew up extremely poor.

I lost relatives to AIDS, a couple of my closest cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high-school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the '80s. When it's that close to you, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it.
I think that's something that people feel that I do really well; I don't mind it, because ultimately I think the characters I play move people, and who wouldn't want to move people?
