I grew up on film sets and I had a ball. It wouldn't have had nearly as much fun if my dad had been working behind a desk somewhere. I remember being on the set of 'The Godfather: Part III,' and all the kids were running around and doing crazy things, and Francis Ford Coppola just embraced that.

Dominik Garcia-Lorido

[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age.
