I have no control over what people call me. The only thing I have control over is my work, and that's really all I can be judged on.

When people call me illegal, calling me illegal says more about you than it does about me.

Film, as any immigrant will tell you, television and movies is the way we make sense of America when we first got here.

Like other undocumented people in this country, I want a green card, and I want a driver's license, and I want a passport. What, to me, is the immigration bill? It's a green card, a driver's license, and a passport. That's what it's about to me, tangibly. That I could see my mom. That I could drive. Is there anything more American than driving? That I could get a green card and be able to - right now, I'm just like freelancing and working as an independent contractor. It's hilarious. I'm unhirable.

There isn't anybody I won't talk to about immigration - at least once.

The immigration bill is going to pass. We're going to have a bill. It's going to get through the Senate. I think the fundamentals are there and the foundation is strong and the bill is going to happen. The House is going to be trickier, but I think it's going to happen there too.

I like Q&A's better than articles sometimes because I feel like I'd rather hear somebody actually talk or wrestle with.
