I believe in creative work.

I have tried to defend what is most precious to our American society, a society that is now at war against the forces of racial intolerance.A big part of me making the decision was how important the play is for the times that we live in. This is a classic. It's a masterpiece of American playwriting. It's about discrimination and it's about we Mexicans being a target for so many years.

When you shoot a film, you have very little time to waste, and I try to go into the character as soon as possible and stay there as much as I can.

There's good and bad everywhere in any aspect in life. The only people who we can't really trust are politicians. Because those guys lie to everybody and constantly.

I grew up in the theater. I began my career at 3. That was the first time I stepped onto a provisional stage.

I don't believe in bad and good, I believe we are all a mix of both.

Can you imagine saying ‘Hi’ to Sam Jackson and he goes and gives you a hug? It’s like being hugged by a lion.
