More quotes by 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.
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.

The New York Times made you or broke you.

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
The thing I gravitated to was being the class clown. It was very competitive.
John Leguizamo
I love cartoons. So when they came to me to make Ice Age and this sequel, I was so happy.

You can't really walk anywhere. Where are you going to go? Everything closes at a certain hour and it's a highway with bars on it that's what it is.
John Leguizamo
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.

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 I run the gamut of being incredibly shy and withdrawn to being a crazy-eccentric exhibitionist.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.
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
When I started performing I was like, Holy hell, how am I going to survive this? I was giving it my all in 15 minutes but now I had to do it for two hours.
John Leguizamo
Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.
John Leguizamo
Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.
John Leguizamo
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
John Leguizamo
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

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 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 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.
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 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.
