“She and I had come close to working on two other films together prior to this one that unfortunately had fallen apart for various reasons.”

I count it as a major victory to not only be on a series that’s had a full season run, but to actually be on one that’s gotten picked up for a second season.

I come from a large family so you can count on the fact that I’m going to have more kids.

Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do – honesty but subtlety.

I’ve been in scenarios as an actor where you have to manufacture an emotion that’s not really there, but it wasn’t hard with Halle because she’s a great person and very beautiful, so it ain’t a tough job at the end of the day.

No matter what your native tongue is, no matter what part of the world you’re from, if your native tongue is distorted with an accent, somehow that’s always funny.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don’t get to do in real life.

As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I’m not working, you’d better spend that time with someone important.

I think all actors are on the constant search for a real challenge just to keep things interesting.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

There is no length that is too great to go to in order to protect your child.

I find that most of us actors can’t stand ourselves in any form.

Film and television essentially feel the same when you’re doing it, because it’s the same technical approach.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it’s romantic.

I have no particular career agenda.

I don’t really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don’t have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.

On a national level there is a tendency to portray Latino culture as a monolithic entity, which is a really inaccurate way of seeing ourselves. There is as much diversity and uniqueness within the Latino culture as there is in any other kind of American culture.

I believe in destiny angel. I believe every choice i’ve made has brought me closer to you. I looked for you for a very long time. I may have fallen from heaven, but i fell for you.

Now we are all fallen, youth from their fear, And age from that which bred it, good example.

If I fall, I fall. I’ll rise up like anybody else.

The complete bottom has fallen out of my life.

Well, once you’ve been in the Canyon and once you’ve sort of fallen in love with it, it never ends…it’s always been a fascinating place to me, in fact I’ve often said that if I ever had a mistress it would be the Grand Canyon.

From the fallen tree everybody makes firewood.

All this time i’ve hated myself for it. I thought i’d given it up for nothing. But if i hadn’t fallen, i wouldn’t have met you.

But if i hadn’t fallen, i wouldn’t have met you.
