I've been hurt so many times I don't have the balls for it anymore.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

People can be anonymous when they go on blogs and say crazy things that they would never have the courage to say to your face.

That's the happiest I am, when I'm doing great work.

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.

Tennessee Williams, one of my favorite playwrights, [lived] down there. You always heard about the Keys and how amazing they are and, well, it's like a highway with some bars on it.

Latins for Republicans. It's like roaches for Raid.

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.

Sid [the character from 'Ice Age'] is a prehistoric sloth. Sloths move really slowly and they store food in the cheek pouches. That's where I got the voice that you hear. He had to sound as though he was storing food.
