When I first set out to do it, I wanted to be a working actor, and now it seems like it's superseded even my dreams.

A shootout is a shootout. You go in and get the bad guys.

Paul Rudd has a very specific brand of humor.

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.

I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.

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.

I've always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.

It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.

I think writing is the most underrated thing in Hollywood.

Kicks to the legs, they're not very cool. They're brutal.

It would be great to play Cesar Chavez. That would be an interesting role for me.

Actors love the big speeches and love to be the center of attention. I mean, that's why we do it.

I thought of myself as an individual ever since I was little.

I grew up in the ghetto, and the thing is when there were problems, I knew when to get away.

Marvel just does things differently.

There's a bigger percentage of good cops than bad cops. But the bad cops should be penalised like regular people.

A lot of Americans don't really leave the country.

You have to work on your own thing. You have to work on yourself, and you have to bring something to the game.

Every time I said, 'Man, I'm doing CHiPs,' 100% of the time they would ask, 'Is Erik Estrada going to be in it?'

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.

I'll do anything to make my kid laugh.

We all want approval.

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.

I was in L.A., like, four months, and I got my first part. Then I was like, 'OK, I'm staying.'

You have to make your choices however you see fit and just keep your integrity as best you can.

I am not afraid to play Latin roles - that was a big part of my life.

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.

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.

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.

There are certain people you don't have to worry about on set.

There's an immigration problem in every country that has money, in that people there have a problem with immigration.

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?

What's funny isn't really me. What I do is point out what I find funny in others.

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.

You know, one of my favorite movies that inspired me and got me started was 'Dead Poet's Society.'

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.

I'd love to work with Woody Allen.

'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 loved WWF as a kid.

I used to live off of nothing.

Sometimes it's good to be naive.

I'm super grateful, and whenever somebody offers me something, and I'm doing it, I always try to give 110%.

Seth Rogen told me to read 'Preacher,' and 'Preacher' was amazing.

I didn't know too much about 'Ant-Man.'

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 was in really good shape after I finished this movie, 'End of Watch.'

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.

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.

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.

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.
