You can't really walk anywhere. Where are you going to go? Everything closes at a certain hour and it's a highway with bars on it; that's what it is.

It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.

My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.

I love life, and I embrace every minute of it.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can go your whole life if you stay current and you stay fresh.

It's not quite the same as other kinds of performing, but I love animation. It is just a different kind of experience. The difference is that making a live action movie you are using your whole body.

So many people, my friends and family, were all saying, "You're so funny. Why don't you become a comedian or an actor?" But it wasn't a reality at the time, it wasn't a road that Latin people were accepted in.
