More quotes by 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.

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.

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 I run the gamut of being incredibly shy and withdrawn to being a crazy-eccentric exhibitionist.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.

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.

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

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

Voices come to me but to maintain them is hard work. They go away just as easily, so I have to remember them and that takes work. With Sid, I needed to make sure you could understand what he is saying, his enunciation. Sometimes I couldn't even say my own name [his name] in his voice. It sounds like 'Shid', it sounds a bit like he has a lisp.

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

The New York Times made you or broke you.

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.

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
Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.

I love cartoons. So when they came to me to make Ice Age and this sequel, I was so happy.
John Leguizamo
Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.

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.
John Leguizamo
I like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.
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 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
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.

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