My Parents Were Incredibly Strict, Almost Military

Most Of The Great Directors I've Worked With - De Palma, Spike Lee - Like Rehearsals.

I Had To Work With Ben Mendelsohn Who's One Of The Great Actors Of Our Time. I Had A Lot Of Scenes With Him And I Was Thrilled To Be On The Set With Him; I Just Wanted To See How We Were Going To Play It.

I'd Be Terrified Even Now For A Latin Kid Wanting To Be An Actor, But Back Then? Forget It. They Must Have Thought I Was Going To Be Working In Restaurants And Driving Cabs For The Rest Of My Life.

T Is For Me Because I Needed To Do This. I Really Think Actors Shouldn't Act Unless They Really Need It In Their Lives. I Think It Has To Be Something That Is So Much A Part Of Your Chemistry, Such A Passion, That You Can't Live Without It. You Should Not Do It Just Because You Are Seeking Fame Or Want To Get Rich.

I Like Helping People Achieve Their Dreams Just Like People Helped Me.
