Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves with any kind of job we have that we kind of forget that we do this because it's supposed to be fun because we love it.

More quotes by Wilmer Valderrama
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.
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
You get caught up sometimes in the deadlines and the pressures and certain things that you can't really control that you forget that this is supposed to be an enjoyable journey.

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.

I want to be some kind of a pilot. And the other thing that I really like is psychology.

It was very interesting [book Fast Food Nation] because all my friends who were in college, [and] this book became almost mandatory for them to read.

It's okay to start over again.

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
For me, honestly, I'm an actor. There's one thing I know how to do - act. And that's all I know how to do. Through our work, [actors] can trigger awareness.
Wilmer Valderrama
The thing that I really like is psychology. I love the human mind. I love the choices you make based on your experiences and instincts and your development based on such experiences and so I guess that's why I love acting so much.
Wilmer Valderrama
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.

Sometimes you're so nervous about piloting something that you could probably just not empower others to finish what they're supposed to.
Wilmer Valderrama
For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.
Wilmer Valderrama
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.

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
I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.
Wilmer Valderrama
I was always wondering why the first ten minutes of eating fast food is heavenly and then after those ten minutes you start feeling like s**t?
Wilmer Valderrama
I love the human mind.
