answered parents spanish talked
My parents talked to me in Spanish and I answered in English,
bite people
But if I'm out here, let me be. I want to bite as many people as I can. Bite them back, so to speak.
bright bringing doctor genius
I play kind of a genius doctor ? really bright and kind of self-serving, ... I'm bringing in a lot of gadgets.
He thinks he can use the jail for networking to be somebody. In that way, he's always operating.
caught family fictitious knew latin mean saying wind
I mean it was my family but it wasn't, ... I wasn't saying this is my life. I was saying this is a fictitious dysfunctional Latin family, you know, so (family members) wouldn't get wind of it. But they caught on. They knew it was them in disguise.
liars hero thinking
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.
beautiful acting currents
The beautiful thing about acting is that you can go your whole life if you stay current and you stay fresh.
dream people helping
I like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.
religious thinking done
I love theater. I think theater, when its done right, is the best, like a religious experience. When it is done badly, it's the worst thing. It's just an incredible experience.
thinking way up-to-you
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.
beautiful running fighting
The message is one of the beautiful things about the film. And I think part of the appeal is simply that they are prehistoric creatures, they are no longer around and that makes them magical and makes us feel quite emotional, because we know that those creatures did not survive in the long run, so there's poignancy in their fight for survival.
people like-me comfortable
I'm just more comfortable with people who are like me than the people who are not.
jobs school class
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
expression skills self
Self-expression, to me, is something that you worked on, that you have mastered a skill to say something in the most artful way that you can. It's not just blurting stuff out and having verbal diarrhea.
