More quotes by John Leguizamo
I'd be terrified even now for a Latin kid wanting to be an actor, but back then? Forget it. They must have thought I was going to be working in restaurants and driving cabs for the rest of my life.
John Leguizamo
I think as you mature as an actor things open up to you in a lot of ways, especially if you do work on yourself.
John Leguizamo
Don't confuse the beginning of my world with the breakup of yours.
John Leguizamo
You know, I am kind of a bi-polarish schitzerphrenic. I run the gamut of being incredibly shy and withdrawn to being a crazy-eccentric exhibitionist. And I have always been like that.
John Leguizamo
First I went to C.W. Post and I was a psychology and theater major and then I transferred to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts as a drama major.
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 see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don't open, we crowbar our way in.
John Leguizamo
Great acting is being able to create a character. Great character is being able to be yourself.

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.

Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.
John Leguizamo
I've been hurt so many times I don't have the balls for it anymore.
John Leguizamo
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
John Leguizamo
I think Brad [Furman] crafted an amazing film [The Infiltrator]. It's so complex, it's incredibly thrilling, incredibly touching and it's what people have been trying to do for years in Hollywood, is to try to capture what it's like to be undercover, what is that duality of life? And I think that Brad really caught that.
John Leguizamo
[Brad Furman] wants to try stuff, he's willing to try stuff. And he wants electricity on the camera. And that's what I want, I want electricity whenever I'm performing.
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
I had a whole new respect for directors.
John Leguizamo
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
John Leguizamo
To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
John Leguizamo
It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.

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.
