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.

We all like indie directors - heck, I even married one... but we're divorced now.

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 am a positive person. I never think of the glass as half empty. I just keep pushing forward.

If I see a door comin' my way, I'm knockin' it down. And if I can't knock down the door, I'm sliding through the window.

I did not try to conform to anybody's ideal of what a Latin celebrity or movie star should be. I took a lot of hits for it.
