I identify with this guy's frustration and inability to control his fury at moments. I even identify with the way that this guy covers up a lot with humour. So yeah, it's interesting.
It's hard for the American industry to see a Latin actor playing something that is not a gardener or someone in a cartel. It's hard to find the material that tells a story of a Latin or European Spanish guy that is not a bad guy.
Some guys can run fast, some guys can sing, I found I could take photographs that people were interested in.
When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.
I'm a nice guy, but not all the time. There are these personalities in me, so many of them. They come out at strange times. I can be one way, then five minutes later I'm another way.
I remember doing a little student film where we had a guy that couldn't pull focus. We ended up spending three times the amount of time shooting this thing as opposed to if the guy could've just pulled focus.
How do you grow up in the shadow of a guy - I want to talk about the movie in a second - but how do you grow up in the shadow of a guy who really is a legend in his own time?
I'm not pretty. The truth is I didn't think I could be a model at all. I was looking at some of the guys on the walls at Irene Marie and I thought to myself 'Jesus Christ. I can't do this. I don't look anything like these guys'.
Carlito: Gimme your piece, Dave. David Kleinfeld: What? Carlito: Gimme the fucking gun! Since when are you a tough guy?

Frank Costello: What we generally do - in this country... is one guy brings the items and the other guy pays him. No tickee, no laundry!
Sgt. Donny Donowitz: After I kill that guy, you have 30 feet to get to that guy. Can you do it? Pfc. Omar Ulmer: I have to.
Eddie Morra: You see that guy? That was me not so long ago. What kind of guy without a drug or alcohol problem looks this way? Only a writer.
Tom Reagan: All in all not a bad guy - if looks, brains and personality don't count. Verna: You better hope they don't.
Airline Pilot: Can I help you guys? Alonzo Mosely: Special Agent Mosely, FBI. Airline Pilot: Are all you guys named "Mosely"?
Guy Woodhouse: What the hell is that? Rosemary Woodhouse: I've been to Vidal Sassoon. Guy Woodhouse: You mean you actually paid for it?
Mr. Blonde: I might break you in, Nice Guy, but I'd make you my dog's bitch.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay.
Columbus: Are you one of these guys that tries to one-up everybody else's story? Tallahassee: No. I knew a guy way worse at that than me.
I've never been that much of a money guy. I'm more of a film guy, and most of the money I've made is in defense of trying to keep creative control of my movies.
Mafia guys are all just insecure people who want their money. They're like little seven-year old kids when they don't get their way. I knew guys like that growing up in New Jersey.
