A good director is like a good coach. You want to play for him. You want to really show him your good stuff. You don't want to let that person down. Ridley Scott is one of those guys.
Quote by -Michael Pena
The only time that I really go on Twitter is to promote, because what sucks is there's some weird trolling going around. Even if you are well-intentioned, there's some mean people behind a keyboard.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I used to love those movies, back in the day, like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Friday the 13th,' 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'The Shining.' I really liked those kind of movies, and I wanted to be a part of one of those kinds of movies.
Quote by -Michael Pena
My brother and my father both got laid off around the same that I was starting to do this movie 'Chavez.' And at the same time, it was when all the bailouts were happening.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I don't know about you, but for me, if I got to present any kind of award, I'm shaking in my pants.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I'm super grateful, and whenever somebody offers me something, and I'm doing it, I always try to give 110%.
Quote by -Michael Pena
'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.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I went to a prep school in Chicago, and my dad and mom worked really hard - even though we lived in the ghetto - to get me to there. A lot of it had to do with 'Stand and Deliver' and 'Dead Poet's Society.' It does help you. It inspires you. It definitely did for me.
Quote by -Michael Pena

Quote by -Michael Pena
All the guys at Marvel are really passionate, and they love entertaining folks, and they really think about the story, and there's a lot of thought that goes into that.

Quote by -Michael Pena
I'm an American, and I live pretty well. But go down to Mexico, and a lot of people really don't. So what, we're going to blame them for trying to get out?

Quote by -Michael Pena
There's a certain weird something. I'm always nervous when I spar. You learn it's going to hurt, but it's only going to hurt for a little bit. It brings out the animal in you to an extent. You learn what you can take.
Quote by -Michael Pena
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.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I've been an actor for 20 years, and I think the first 14 years, it was all struggling. At first, it was all gangsters.
Quote by -Michael Pena
You have to make your choices however you see fit and just keep your integrity as best you can.

I was in L.A., like, four months, and I got my first part. Then I was like, 'OK, I'm staying.'
Quote by -Michael Pena
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.
Quote by -Michael Pena
As a kid growing up in Chicago, I've been shot at before. I remember I very calmly went down on the ground. Afterwards, you're like, 'Omigod.' You just don't have time to think.
Quote by -Michael Pena
Every time I said, 'Man, I'm doing CHiPs,' 100% of the time they would ask, 'Is Erik Estrada going to be in it?'
Quote by -Michael Pena
You have to work on your own thing. You have to work on yourself, and you have to bring something to the game.
Quote by -Michael Pena
There's a bigger percentage of good cops than bad cops. But the bad cops should be penalised like regular people.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I grew up in the ghetto, and the thing is when there were problems, I knew when to get away.

It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I used to tour with this band. I was a drummer. I would tour a bunch for about 10 months out of the year and act for about two months. I would make what I needed from acting and would stretch it out.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.
Quote by -Michael Pena
I want to find my own rhythm and style. That's probably the harder way to approach it, but I think it will pay off in the long run.
