bitten hollywood people stay zombie
If I was in Hollywood and I got bitten by a zombie, I would want to stay a zombie and then take down as many people as I could,
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.
dream people helping
I like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.
people like-me comfortable
I'm just more comfortable with people who are like me than the people who are not.
crazy people goes-on
People can be anonymous when they go on blogs and say crazy things that they would never have the courage to say to your face.
love-life men people
I love life, man, and I embrace every minute of it so maybe I bring that on the set. I love people and I want to have a good time.
people want hispanic
I did the bible as told through Hispanic people and they laughed and applauded. I thought, "Oh my god, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life."
latin reality people
So many people, my friends and family, were all saying, "You're so funny. Why don't you become a comedian or an actor?" But it wasn't a reality at the time, it wasn't a road that Latin people were accepted in.
stars latin people
There were no Latin people on 'Star Trek,' that this was proof that they weren't planning to have us around for the future.
blue class people
It doesn't make sense. [Republicans are] not for us. You're not for my values. We're working class people mostly and blue collar. We're your cops, we're your firemen, we're your carpenters and the things we need - we need to protect our unions, we need to protect our Medicare, we need to protect the working class person.
thinking people touching
I think Brad [Furman] crafted an amazing film [The Infiltrator]. It's so complex, it's incredibly thrilling, incredibly touching and it's what people have been trying to do for years in Hollywood, is to try to capture what it's like to be undercover, what is that duality of life? And I think that Brad really caught that.
bouncing comedy expelled kid since walls
I've been bouncing off the walls since childhood. Expelled from school. In trouble. Kid with no future. Comedy was the only answer.
dad loser loves poet
Every dad who loves his daughter is not going to want her to go with the penniless slacker loser poet bum, when she could go out with someone who's successful.
ahead career character cover feeds hit life living local love month morning point reporter research spanish ton traveled tv work
a ton of research -- more than I've ever done before for anything. I've hit this point in my career where I just love doing research. It's what feeds me -- going and living the life of my character -- so for this I went to Ecuador a month or two ahead to work on my Spanish and get the feel for the place. I also traveled around with this local TV reporter who was doing the same thing Manolo does, and every morning we'd go to the morgue to cover murders.
