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.

More quotes by 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
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
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
John Leguizamo
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
[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.
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
It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.
John Leguizamo
I read that 36% of Latin kids drop out of high school, and we're the most bullied minority in schools right now. And my son had troubles in elementary school. So that made me really question being Latin in the United States.

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

Sid [the character from 'Ice Age'] is a prehistoric sloth. Sloths move really slowly and they store food in the cheek pouches. That's where I got the voice that you hear. He had to sound as though he was storing food.
John Leguizamo
I knew Linda Cardellini from when we did ER together - she was always great, such a cool spirit.
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.
John Leguizamo
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.
John Leguizamo
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
John Leguizamo
To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
John Leguizamo
I love cartoons. So when they came to me to make Ice Age and this sequel, I was so happy.
John Leguizamo
I've been hurt so many times I don't have the balls for it anymore.
