I would love to work with Tom Hardy. Maybe do something crazy or dramatic that is different for me.

Some people either really like me or some people don't like me, but even if you don't like me right now or you kinda like me right now, this isn't the end for me, I'm going to continue.

I like to stay artistic. So I always like to draw or write.

I grew up in a big ol' Latin family, so that's all the music we used to play - salsa music. We'd always dance and have fun. You know how families get down, man! We just had fun with it.

I'm always thinking if I'm not doing something to get ahead in life, someone else is doing it.

I was a professional fighter for a while, and I trained in martial arts for seven years, so I think that kind of helped form a base for me as far as dancing.

I'm a sucker for a woman with beautiful eyes.

For aspiring actors out there, I would say stay focused and don't let anyone pull you away from your goals. Shoot for the stars so that if you ever fall short you can land on the clouds.

The compliment that I like more than anything is when my family tells me I'm the same Ryan. I never want to become a celeb who forgets about anybody or has a big head about himself.

Any Latin dance, whether it be salsa, cha cha, samba, etc., is very sexy for me to see a woman do. Using your hips is the key.

I'm kind of a neat freak. My place is really organized. My socks are even organized: colors and sizes.

My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.

If you are young and you drink a great deal it will spoil your health, slow your mind, make you fat - in other words, turn you into an adult.

I think it's fair to say you can't predict a straight line to victory. You know, there'll be good days and bad days along the way.

Men are polished, through act and speech, Each by each, As pebbles are smoothed on the rolling beach.

LA is an intense city. I was probably a bit too sensitive. I didn't have any friends so I was keeping pretty low key. I just whipped myself up into a bit of an emotional frenzy.

I always say that my artist statement is to not be afraid to talk about the messiness - the unpleasant feelings and happenings around my life.

I'm absolutely confident that the God that I worship abhors violence.

Death is a greatly overrated experience. I hated Mother's and I'm not looking forward to my own. Apart from the sorrow there are the bills to be paid. Nobody dies for free.
