You know, you may not be born in Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rican is definitely born in you.

I don't call myself Latin, I call myself Puerto Rican.

If we can't look at the good, bad and ugly of who we are, we are never going to progress as people - ever.

You can learn steps, but you cannot learn how to boogie.

As an actor, you may do things that aren't politically correct. Unless you're an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don't do the good, bad, and the ugly, we're not going to progress.

I was very willing to take on controversial roles that people didn't really want to look at.

Own it. Just take it and say, 'Yes I will be great, I am going to be great.' Great doesn't mean being a movie star, great doesn't mean having millions of dollars. Great means being able to be confident, strong, and a solid human being that has dignity and integrity. That is great.
