I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.
Being an actor you have a lot of expenses.
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 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 love shocking people.
I'm a very romantic person.
I'll never lose the sense of being an underdog. I'm capable of a lot more.
Shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' they have, like, one or two damn characters throughout the whole series that are minorities.
How often do you get a movie where the coolest character has your own real last name? I played Bob Morales as a cross between my own father - the passion, the fury - and the real Bob Morales. I loved that movie. People, kids always come up to me and tell me how much they still love 'La Bamba.'
I believe if people understood each other more, if people took the time and realize it's not 'all about me' and I'm on a big planet with a lot of other people and concerns, maybe we can learn how to get along with each other.
