Esai Morales's quotes

• Being an actor you have a lot of expenses.
• I remember doing 'La Bamba' and thinking, 'Do you really think that Latinos will be accepted in mainstream?' and I said, 'Someday I hope so, but there is no guarantee.'
• Well, actually yes, in 1988. There was a warrant for me because my assistant hadn't paid a ticket of mine.
• I believe if people understood each other more, if people took the time and realize it's not 'all about me' and I'm on a big planet with a lot of other people and concerns, maybe we can learn how to get along with each other.
• Shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' they have, like, one or two damn characters throughout the whole series that are minorities.
• I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
• Anytime you do something Latino, yeah, I love the color, the spice.
• My character Esteban is a guy who really didn't think he was gonna be there at this point in his life. He's in his early 30s. He's got a son. He's raising his son as a single father.
• We as Americans of Latin descent are just as American as anyone else of any other descent.
• I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.
• I'm a very romantic person.
• I love shocking people.
• In order to be a lieutenant, you've got to have authority in your voice. No matter how young your face looks, you've got to let your guys know that you're in charge.
• I love being irreverent. But I hate being irrelevant. I love being irreverent because at the end of the day your actions belie your intentions.
• I just arrive, they hand me a script and say, do it.
• I went jogging up on Mulholland. In the middle of my run I had some form of asthma attack and couldn't even walk. I couldn't get a ride one block to my house. I thought I was going to die.
• I don't get paid like a person that everyone knows, but I get paid so much more in so many ways.
• I always pull over for people who need a push.
• If you don't look like the ruling class, bring your inhaler.
• You know, I'm not making top dollar, but when you're making top dollar, there are a lot of people waiting for you to fall.
• Being an American is a state of mind, and to be in a family is to feel the power of belonging, the power of your roots. Family is a tree, the strength of a tree, the roots, the leaves, the past and the present, the future, the fruits, the seeds.
• I love bringing roses to a woman when she least expects it.
• I think that racism has gotten more subtle, and it's not even racism anymore: it's placism. Like where you live or whether you went to community college or Harvard, and it exists within the race.
• I am tired of our characters being so incomplete. When do we ever save the day in a film? When does a Latino actor get to be the hero?
• We hear a lot in this country about family, and 'American Family' just shows us a portrait we haven't seen as much of yet. 'American Family' lets us know that being American isn't about the color of your hair or eyes or skin: it's really a state of mind.
• All I would say to people who doubt 'Caprica' is: Everything good starts slow.
• I think the legacy left behind by 'Battlestar' speaks for itself. I thought that these avid fans, most of whom were skeptical at first... to turn them into a fan of 'Caprica' as well is a daunting task, a big challenge.
• It's people politics, people dynamics that make a show really good, whether it's 'Desperate Housewives' or 'Lost' or 'The Sopranos.' It's the people we've grown to love or otherwise.
• I don't want to be the 'spice' added to a show. I'm not a condiment!
• We understand 'Roots,' and that experience was mind-boggling, and it changed the way society viewed race relations. It was incredibly important. With 'Roots,' I was just as proud as anybody else that people of color were getting their stories told.
• My mother taught me when you go someplace, you leave it better than you found it.
• Do I have to see movies and television about the English throne or the Holocaust every year? There are multiple multi-million dollar movies with the same backdrop. But our Holocaust - meaning Latino - aren't ever told.
• I see myself being a father, hopefully a husband, but I'm very gun-shy. The older I get, the further the goalpost.
• In New York, just standing still on the sidewalk is a weird feeling. You have this incessant need to do things. Los Angeles is about kicking back, relaxing, your inner child, peace.
• I'll never lose the sense of being an underdog.
