I would be jokesmithing. I had files with tons of disses that I would try to write as I was on the train going to school.

I knew Linda Cardellini from when we did ER together - she was always great, such a cool spirit.

The message is one of the beautiful things about the film. And I think part of the appeal is simply that they are prehistoric creatures, they are no longer around and that makes them magical and makes us feel quite emotional, because we know that those creatures did not survive in the long run, so there's poignancy in their fight for survival.
John Leguizamo
I have a lot of heroes. I don't think people give enough of a tribute to their mentors. They try to act like they're spontaneous generations - they are faking liars.
John Leguizamo
I keep my kids out of the whole business entirely. Allegra and Lucas are five and six and I'm not interested in them doing any acting at all. I don't want my kids in show business. I keep them as far away from my work as possible.

I was working at Kentucky Fried Chicken when my math teacher said, You're failing in school, you're messing up, why don't you just try this? I said, Alright, let me try it, and I started going to acting classes and I loved it. I thought, I may not make it but I love doing it.

I had a whole new respect for directors.

I grew up with a lot of cats like that and they always were so surprising, magnetic, and electrifying. You can't be with them too long because they burn you out but the energy, the impulsivity, and the freedom connecting them to their animal energy is just so powerful to watch. It's dangerous to live like that but it's riveting to watch.
John Leguizamo
It's not quite the same as other kinds of performing, but I love animation. It is just a different kind of experience. The difference is that making a live action movie you are using your whole body.
John Leguizamo
After kids leave the house, they can decide to do whatever they want, but while they're under my roof, they're going to be lawyers or writers or something, something important, anything except actors.
John Leguizamo
Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do, you don't for a long time.

To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
John Leguizamo
Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.

I gotta tell, that's one of the things in Hollywood that has not been a barrier. I've gotten lots of offers, and I did try my hand at it, I directed two commercials. I won best commercial of ad week [laughs] on my first try.

Pablo Escobar is one of the great stories of all time. It's a bizarre, dark version of success.

The New York Times made you or broke you.
John Leguizamo
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

In Moulin Rouge I could not change the name of Toulouse-Lautrec obviously to Toulouse-Lautrec- Martinez. But in ER I did that, my name is Dr Victor Clemente, so sometimes it is possible.
