Jose Antonio Vargas Zitate

For decades, I have cringed whenever someone called me 'illegal,' as if I'm an insect on someone's back. I found out I didn't have the right papers - that I was here illegally - when I tried to get a driver's permit at age 16. But I am not 'illegal.' No person is.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich habe jahrzehntelang gejagt, wenn mich jemand als "illegal" bezeichnet hat, als ob ich ein Insekt auf dem Rücken eines Menschen bin. Ich fand heraus, dass ich nicht die richtigen Papiere hatte - dass ich illegal hier war - als ich im Alter von 16 Jahren eine Fahrerlaubnis erhielt. Aber ich bin nicht "illegal". Kein Mensch ist.

I think it would be pompous to say I am an underrated actor. I don't think it is for me to think and decide; it is for people to decide. But I am glad I am underrated than being overrated - that is something I would find hard to digest.
