We're Mexi-cans Not Mexi-can'ts.

I Didn't Come From A Background Where I Saw A Lot Of Loving Couples. All My Aunts And Uncles Were Either Split Up Or Fighting All The Time. The Only Healthy Relationships I Saw Were On Tv.

Making A Movie About One Group Of People Isolates The Larger Majority. That's What I Require Of The Projects That I'm Involved With. I Would Not Ever Make A Movie Strictly For Latinos.

I Want To Tell You About A Woman I Have Been Married To For Ten Years, My Wife, Ann, Who Speaking Truthfully, Saved Me From Myself. Who Saved Me From Destroying Myself Because Of My Background. Who Saved Me From Wasting My Life, Drinking My Life Away, Never Fulfilling My Dreams Because Of What I Had Come From, And Truly Believing And Loving - Truly The First Person To Ever Truthfully, Unconditionally Love Me.

I Believe That There Are Certain Things That Could Be Taken Care Of That You Don't Need A Strong Political Background In.

[there's] A Joke That I've Done Forever: 'nowadays They Say That The Largest Majority Of People Will Be Latino And You'll Tell Scary Stories To Your Grandkids: "a Long Time Ago When I Was Growing Up, There Used To Be People Who Were White," And The Kid Says, "really?" And You Say, "yeah, Like The Man Who Cuts Our Grass."' I've Had That Line Forever And I Love It.
