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.

We have food deserts in our cities. We know that the distance you live from a supplier of fresh produce is one of the best predictors of your health. And in the inner city, people don't have grocery stores. So we have to figure out a way of getting supermarkets and farmers markets into the inner cities.

Agriculture changes the landscape more than anything else we do. It alters the composition of species. We don't realize it when we sit down to eat, but that is our most profound engagement with the rest of nature.

I think perfect objectivity is an unrealistic goal; fairness, however, is not.

Eat all the junk food you want - as long as you cook it yourself. That way, it'll be less junky, and you won't eat it every day because it's a lot of work.

A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.

The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.

Corn is a greedy crop, as farmers will tell you.

You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites? It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean. So what plants have - while we have consciousness, toolmaking, language, they have biochemistry.

At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind.

We are the species who cooks. No other species cooks. And when we learned to cook, we became truly human.

You can make real food in 20, 30 minutes, but we've convinced ourselves that it is a rocket science. It's a shame. It's the media and the food industry: they've fed our panic around time.

A cow out on grass is just an incredible thing to behold... Cows and other ruminants can do things we just can't do. They have the most highly evolved digestive organ on the planet, called the rumen. And the rumen can digest grass. It takes grass, cellulose in grass, and turns it into protein, very nutritious protein. We can't do that.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.

It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car.

Corn is an efficient way to get energy calories off the land and soybeans are an efficient way of getting protein off the land, so we've designed a food system that produces a lot of cheap corn and soybeans resulting in a lot of cheap fast food.

To a very great extent, it's the fast-food industry that really industrialized our agriculture - that drove the system to one variety of chicken grown very quickly in confinement, to the feedlot system for beef, to giant monocultures to grow potatoes. All of those thing flow from the desire of fast-food companies for a perfectly consistent product.
