More quotes by John Leguizamo
I think as you mature as an actor things open up to you in a lot of ways, especially if you do work on yourself.
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
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.
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 like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.

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

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 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
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.

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
The New York Times made you or broke you.
John Leguizamo
I've been hurt so many times I don't have the balls for it anymore.
John Leguizamo
It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.
John Leguizamo
That's the happiest I am, when I'm doing great work.
John Leguizamo
Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.
John Leguizamo
Great acting is being able to create a character. Great character is being able to be yourself.
John Leguizamo
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.
John Leguizamo
To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
John Leguizamo
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
