Catalina Sandino Moreno's quotes

It is amazing. None of us ever expected ['Maria Full of Grace'] to be so big. It was a film that was made with all the love in the world and it is being so well received. We would have never expected it.
I love theater. I want to keep learning and I think that by doing as much theater as I can, it will make me a better actress for film.
"It's the story of this girl and at the end of the movie she's a woman." - on Maria Full of Grace.
Maria had such an impact on me that I didn't want to do something so light. I wanted to do something with power. Anyone can be a beautiful girl. Any girl can be that. So I didn't do anything for three years. I was waiting for the right roles.
I feel I have a responsibility, as an actress, as a Colombian immigrant, and just as a person, to show people reality. It would be nice to be an actress who loves action movies, but I'm not that kind of actress.
I know! It's crazy. I would never even in my wildest dreams thought of being nominated for an Oscar for the first movie. I thought it was going to be on cable, not on the movies, not in the theaters...you know it's just insane.
