More quotes by John Leguizamo
Well I was about to be expelled from school, I had been arrested and a teacher said: Why don't you try acting, instead of distracting the class? Why don't you use your comic talent for something more productive? My maths teacher suggested I do comedy and I decided to have a go. I pursued it after that. I was about 17.

My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.

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.

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

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.

I did the bible as told through Hispanic people and they laughed and applauded. I thought, Oh my god, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
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
With kids, the days are long, but the years are short.
John Leguizamo
Don't confuse the beginning of my world with the breakup of yours.
John Leguizamo
Is there a God? Yeah, but there's not just one God. There's a whole lot of gods, because one God couldn't have possibly made so many mistakes all by Himself. This had to be done by committee.
John Leguizamo
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.
John Leguizamo
It's a product of being an actor, you know? A lot of your work doesn't end up on camera and some of the best things aren't always in the final product. But yeah, a lot of my stuff got cut and it was painful, but I know it was for the better of the movie.
John Leguizamo
It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.
John Leguizamo
I read that 36% of Latin kids drop out of high school, and we're the most bullied minority in schools right now. And my son had troubles in elementary school. So that made me really question being Latin in the United States.
John Leguizamo
I had a whole new respect for directors.
John Leguizamo
Great acting is being able to create a character. Great character is being able to be yourself.
John Leguizamo
You can't really walk anywhere. Where are you going to go? Everything closes at a certain hour and it's a highway with bars on it that's what it is.
John Leguizamo
Latins for Republicans. It's like roaches for Raid.
