More quotes by John Leguizamo
Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.
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.

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.
John Leguizamo
I had a whole new respect for directors.

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.

I love his [Brad Furman] ferocious desire for perfection and his love of vitality, it feeds me, man. It feeds him and it feeds the whole crew. And he's got huge respect for talent. And that's why talent goes in and gives it 300% percent.

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

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.

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.

I love cartoons. So when they came to me to make Ice Age and this sequel, I was so happy.

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.

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.

My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

With kids, the days are long, but the years are short.

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.

The thing I gravitated to was being the class clown. It was very competitive.

Bryan Cranston is generous, he's funny. When we did a wedding scene [in The Infiltrator ], at the end of the movie with a big set piece, he put the veil off the bride, he put it on, he pretended like we were getting married, he's just a goof.
