It's about something that I'm extremely passionate about: exploring other cultures, how Americans are perceived by other cultures and how we perceive other cultures through our worldview. I travel whenever I get an opportunity to do so, and I think this country is ready for a show on television that is bilingual and really puts front and center another culture, both as the protagonist and the antagonist.

Unfortunately, when you're the king of the hill, there's really only one way to go, and that's down.

But probably my favorite music, believe it or not, is sad music.

I don't take a scene or word for granted.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.

I find that I have no problem getting a table at a restaurant when I walk in.
