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.

You have to stand for something bigger than yourself.

I think I've always been paranoid.

We're talking about America - a country that's been built on the back of cheap labor. That's addicted to cheap labor. Talk to the Chinese and Irish who built the railroads. Talk to the black people who built the South. So what is the US-Mexico conversation really about?

America is White and Black and Latino and Asian. America is mixed. America is immigrants.

Something is fundamentally amiss when you refer to a person as illegal. Bottom line. That's why we so easily talk about this like we're talking about plants or crops. These illegals. My God, man, it's so tragic to me traveling around this country, this country that is getting more and more Latino, and you hear people use the words "illegal" and "Mexican" interchangeably. Interchangeably. Without blinking an eye.

I've done everything I've done in America with the limitations I have.
