I think we are living in pretty scary times and people are looking for inspiration and are also more open to the spiritual possibilities.

Rejection is good for the soul.

I don't come from a wealthy or privileged background, and growing up I was always looking for the best quality at a price I could afford. My love of vintage is rooted in that. Drugstores were the mecca for the latest makeup trends and products.

I remember reading scripts when I started in the business, and [Latino roles] were either nonexistent or written as the maid or a drug dealer. We're no longer just that. I'll play any part that challenges me. What's important is that all races have choices.

Once you stay open, it's incredible what starts unfolding.

I am a man with an open mind. I really don't know anything, but I'm very interested in the spiritual and the material.

Well I'm a 5 year old at heart; I still think that there is a monster under my bed - and I'm not joking. It's pathetic, it's really not cute.
