It takes time to understand yourself, to go inside yourself and to question yourself and really take yourself to task. That's self-expression.

I read that 36% of Latin kids drop out of high school, and we're the most bullied minority in schools right now. And my son had troubles in elementary school. So that made me really question being Latin in the United States.

I did Brad's first film The Take and I'm glad Brad [Furman] has not calmed down. I don't want him to ever calm down.

I would be jokesmithing. I had files with tons of disses that I would try to write as I was on the train going to school.

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.

I see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don't open, we crowbar our way in.

I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
