We're all trying to be artists making our own unique statements. I think the only real way to do that is through failure.

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.

Close your eyes. Meditate on your love. This is God.

Don't forget to be kind, you will make someone's day!

You two would get on like a house on fire. Don't douse the flames before you've struck a match.

The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.

Hate brings me to my knees, love gets me on my feet.

A peculiar work in any art must not be too hastily judged. New styles have to create new tastes.

The ideal love affair should be conducted by post.

Love - true love - is a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives.

He knew he was Joe DiMaggio, and he knew what that meant to the country.

If I had to say who is the number-one most powerful figure is in reality TV, it's very easy. It is the general public. They're the only people who have power now.
