I want to do more sci-fi films. I want to play half-alien, half-illegal alien.

I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.

In the beginning, I was always playing some kind of gangbanger and the token Mexican dude who didn't have a lot of lines but was in the entire movie. At the same time, everyone gets typecast, and I decided that if I was going to play a stereotypical role, I was going to play it like a three-dimensional character.

I took a year and a half off, when my kid was born, because I didn't want to be one of those dads where the kid doesn't know who his dad is.

I guess people recognize me, but I'm not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don't want is to be followed by paparazzi.

I've always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.

It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.
