Anytime you do something Latino, yeah, I love the color, the spice.
Being an actor you have a lot of expenses.
But who wants to wear their heart on their sleeve, just to have it get walked on and stained. So I hide it with a gruff inappropriateness.
I always pull over for people who need a push.
I don't get paid like a person that everyone knows, but I get paid so much more in so many ways.
I just arrive, they hand me a script and say, do it.
I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
I love being irreverent. But I hate being irrelevant. I love being irreverent because at the end of the day your actions belie your intentions.
I love bringing roses to a woman when she least expects it.
I love shocking people.
I went jogging up on Mulholland. In the middle of my run I had some form of asthma attack and couldn't even walk. I couldn't get a ride one block to my house. I thought I was going to die.
I'm a very romantic person.
I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.
If you don't look like the ruling class, bring your inhaler.
In order to be a lieutenant, you've got to have authority in your voice. No matter how young your face looks, you've got to let your guys know that you're in charge.
My character Esteban is a guy who really didn't think he was gonna be there at this point in his life. He's in his early 30s. He's got a son. He's raising his son as a single father.
We as Americans of Latin descent are just as American as anyone else of any other descent.
Well, actually yes, in 1988. There was a warrant for me because my assistant hadn't paid a ticket of mine.
What I like about Esteban is that he's just - he's not trying to be anything. He's just a good man and a good father. He's not out there chasing untenable dreams.
You know, I'm not making top dollar, but when you're making top dollar, there are a lot of people waiting for you to fall.
I don't debate with liars.
I don't mind being a permanent nightmare for the United States.
Vaca Diez, do not destroy our country!
