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.

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 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.

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

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.

My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

It was at a performance art space that's no longer around, Gusto House... All of these great performers from all over the country lived on the Lower East Side, and they would take somebody's living room that opened right onto the street, open the door and charge tickets and put up chairs.

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.

Don't confuse the beginning of my world with the breakup of yours.
John Leguizamo
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
Pablo Escobar is one of the great stories of all time. It's a bizarre, dark version of success.
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.
John Leguizamo
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.

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

Great acting is being able to create a character. Great character is being able to be yourself.

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 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.
John Leguizamo
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.
