When you do a movie the clock is ticking. It's like a sport.

I'm a fan myself, so when a fan does something that might be strange, I understand it.

There's something about the Oscar that gives you sort of stripes where you feel you can dare to walk into a studio like Universal and say, "Hey guys, how about an idea of me playing the wolf man?"

You deal with failure - strike, strike, strike - all the time. Acting is like that. You have to have a very thick skin in a way - your hair is too dark, you're too ugly for the part, your audition wasn't good.

I mean I like most of the films that I've seen that I've been in. Those are the kind of films that I like to see. Am I getting better at making choices? Well, I think I might be getting better at reading scripts. Does that make any sense?

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

There's a lot of Latinos right now, a lot of filmmakers and writers that are Latin too.
