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 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.

When things are bad, it's the best time to reinvent yourself.

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

God knows who you are! God knows why you are here! Don’t live a different you! Don't disappoint God!

She floated across the boundary of realms, nothing more than a human shell. She existed but only as a shadow of who she once was.

...but which of us has read every line of the Iliad, or the Aeneid, or The Divine Comedy, or Paradise Lost? Only men of epic stomach can digest these epic tales.

A family is but too often a commonwealth of malignants.

If you think that you are where you are just because you worked hard, it is easy to become self-righteous and make classist moral judgments about others.

I think I was probably always a liar; I just get paid for it now.

Legality and oppression are not unknown to run hand in hand.
