More quotes by John Leguizamo
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 think as you mature as an actor things open up to you in a lot of ways, especially if you do work on yourself.

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.

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.
John Leguizamo
Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.
John Leguizamo
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.
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
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
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
I like drama. I love being in a drama where I get to be the funny guy. That's what I really love the most.

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

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.
