I Was Very Willing To Take On

In Movies, You Shoot Out Of Sequence, So The Issue Of Reality Is Really Taken Out Of It

In Movies, You Have A Production Assistant Carrying Your Chair Around And Getting You Coffee. In Theater, No One Carries Your Chair, No One Gets You Your Coffee, There's No Craft Service, There's No Per Diem. The Only Thing That Is Provided For You Is Coffee, Tea, Sugar And Milk. It Doesn't Matter How Big A Star You Are Or Whatever.

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.

I Didn't Appreciate Brooklyn Until I Left It.

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.
