I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.

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

I don't think I could be a foot soldier. I don't know if I could take orders too good. I'm a little lazy.

Villains used to always die in the end. Even the monsters. Frankenstein, Dracula - you'd kill them with a stake. Now the nightmare guy comes back.

Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I'm not talking about acting or anything like that, I'm talking about people I admire, whether it's a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician, whatever.

I used to play basketball and I was pretty competitive, but I was never a bad loser. I never got angry. For me it was always about doing my best and devoting myself to a challenge.
