My grandfather taught me generosity. He sold snow cones in Harlem. I went with him at 5 and he let me hand out the change and snow cones. I learned a lot in the couple of years that we did that.

I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.

I always loved Ponch, man. It was so much fun to be him, to put on my duds and get on that bike and bust the bad guys and help out the kids. And get the babes.

I really love the karate thing I did on CHIPs. I studied with a trainer because I knew we'd do episodes that had karate.

As a Latino growing up in Spanish harlem, it's not easy trying not to be hot-headed.

Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America” is a brilliant movie. It’s about four hours long, but it’s so well done.

I had a major motorcycle accident on CHIPs that gave me a 50-50 chance to live. I broke a lot of bones and fractured ribs and broken wrists.
