There's something pretty awesome about staying with a character and growing.

I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.

I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I'm not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.

Early in my career, I was really spoiled with a beautiful project. I got such a good start that I thought, 'Why would I ever take a step back?' Why would I take on something that wasn't meaningful - to me, if nobody else - and powerful and groundbreaking?

When there is no job related stress, you are more aware of your mate and children, if you are a parent.

For me, the marriage of publishing and politics simply weaves together the two family businesses.

A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.

I started in movies in Mexico and started doing telenovelas in Mexico. 'American Family' was the first thing I did in English.
