As a Latin man, obviously immigration has been a part of my culture for decades. [I] grew up understanding what you go through in order to come to this country and searching for that American dream.

I actually didn't read the book [Fast Food Nation]. I wasn't aware of it. But when I read the script, I thought Wow. It became a project that was just so exciting to be a part of. Maybe a few times in a career [you] get a chance for a role that really means something, and this was it.

I grew up in Venezuela, and when I was 14-years-old, my parents decided to sell everything and come to America. Five of us lived in a two bedroom house. It wasn't a sad truth, it was just the way it was [at the time]. That feeling is so universal for every immigrant.

As Latinos, we are so aware of what people go through in order to come to America. It's very interesting to do research on something that's been culturally a part of your existence.
Wilmer Valderrama
Doing this movie [Fast Food Nation] made me realize that our bodies are digesting things that it's not meant to digest. It's pretty bad for you. The cast is [now] very, very aware of where we get our food and what we put in our bodies.
Wilmer Valderrama
I think psychology would be an easy transition and figuring out the human mind somehow.
Wilmer Valderrama
I played sports, so I understood quickly I shouldn't be eating fast food because it was slowing me down, making me feel lousy and lazy, and my instincts were not working as they should.
Wilmer Valderrama
You do some things and you just hope people will laugh.
Wilmer Valderrama
When I was 10 years old, we'd pick out a cow and boom! They'd hit it in the head with a hammer, lift it up by the back legs, and skin it in front of us. Then I'd take the head home and make soup

Mandy because that was the most meaningful relationship.
Wilmer Valderrama
Get into the relationship for the right reason because it's a great support system, because it's a great compliment to your life, because it's someone that actually fulfills you and makes you happy.
Wilmer Valderrama
Make sure that everything you produce and create is organic to you.
Wilmer Valderrama
I can honestly say from my experience, my family and I had to start from scratch. We left Venezuela back in 1998 and sold the few things we had to come to America in search of the American dream. We went through really tough times. There were moments where we were wondering are we going to make it.
Wilmer Valderrama
When things get dark, they're going to get darker, and at that very moment, that's when you hang on that much tighter because that's when salvation and light come.
Wilmer Valderrama
Because I had an accent, people had this impression that I was dumb.
