Zitat des Tages von Michael Pena:
Seth Rogen told me to read 'Preacher,' and 'Preacher' was amazing.
I've always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.
I saw Gosling just kill it in 'Blue Valentine.' I thought he was just amazing at that, and I wouldn't mind maybe doing something like that.
When I was a kid, I lived in a poor part of Chicago, and I remember my brother and me using towels as capes. My son does it, too.
You can think you know somebody. But when they're trying to punch you in the face, you really know somebody. You learn their tendencies.
Some horror movies are just for shock value, so it doesn't really feel scary.
I don't know if I'm necessarily a role model, but hopefully I can inspire any artist - Latin or otherwise - to do this thing for a living.
I think about where I grew up and how I grew up: my dad was making $25,000 a year. Taking a chance wasn't really taking a chance. It was like you were going for something better. To me, there wasn't that much risk involved.
'End of Watch' was 98-percent written, and I work really hard to make it look like it's the first time I'm saying it.
I am not afraid to play Latin roles - that was a big part of my life.
'Spider-Man' seems to have a different tone to the pure Marvel stuff, but I really enjoyed the 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' and 'Iron Man' movies. I love the special effects and how it seems very real, but at the same time, it still lives within the realm of Marvel. That's got to be a lot of work.
One of my favorite movies is 'Broadway Danny Rose.'
I feel lucky. I feel blessed. If you get blessed with some ability, I think you have to work hard at it. Michael Jordan was a great basketball player, but he wasn't the best shooter, even though he had the skill, and he had to work and work at it.
'Tower Heist?' That is a movie that it's hard not to name-drop, but, it's a crew of five, and it's Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, me, Matthew Broderick, and Casey Affleck. And we're like, on a heist.
I loved WWF as a kid.
I'm clearly not a writer, but I'm always a fan of them.
I wouldn't say I have comedy chops. I guess you get lucky with good writing because I don't think I'm a comedian by any stretch of the imagination.
Play the role as a human being... human beings are three-dimensional.
There's something about coming up with something out of nothing. I work with somebody else's creation already, and I just try to make it better.
When I did 'Crash,' to be honest with you, it was just another acting job. I just wanted to do as good as I possibly could.
You have to work on your own thing. You have to work on yourself, and you have to bring something to the game.
I used to live off of nothing.
It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.
It would be great to play Cesar Chavez. That would be an interesting role for me.
I'm envious of writers.
My first ten years in Hollywood were really tough. I'd be coaching friends who came to me for acting advice, and then they'd make it before I did. I'd still be helping them while they were on movie sets and I had four lines on a TV show.
When I watch movies with my kid like 'Shrek,' I'm like, 'Wow, this is pretty funny.' That's why I wanted to start doing movies like that - so my kid would laugh at my jokes.
One of my first real parts was 'Crash' - that won the Oscar.
I was in really good shape after I finished this movie, 'End of Watch.'
Kicks to the legs, they're not very cool. They're brutal.
There's an immigration problem in every country that has money, in that people there have a problem with immigration.
I came to L.A. when I was 19, and my two roommates were blue-eyed, blond dudes. I helped coach them, and they both landed pilots.
I don't know about you, but for me, if I got to present any kind of award, I'm shaking in my pants.
I don't know why - I have a ton of books: five full cabinets of them.
There's a bigger percentage of good cops than bad cops. But the bad cops should be penalised like regular people.
We all want approval.
