I Was Very Willing To Take On

I Have A Great Career, And No Matter What I Am Doing, A Big Blockbuster Movie... Or My Small Documentary, David Letterman Will Call And Say I Would Like You To Sit On My Couch.

In My Circle Of Friends, I've Always Been Loud And Funny And Talkative. But As Soon As I Step Out Of That Circle, I Get Very Quiet And Introspective. I Don't Want The Spotlight On Me.

I Did Not Try To Conform To Anybody's Ideal Of What A Latin Celebrity Or Movie Star Should Be. I Took A Lot Of Hits For It.

I Don't Call Myself Latin, I Call Myself Puerto Rican.

In Movies, You Have A Production Assistant Carrying Your Chair Around And Getting You Coffee. In Theater, No One Carries Your Chair, No One Gets You Your Coffee, There's No Craft Service, There's No Per Diem. The Only Thing That Is Provided For You Is Coffee, Tea, Sugar And Milk. It Doesn't Matter How Big A Star You Are Or Whatever.
