Jimmy Smits's quotes

"They'd say, 'Explain this again: If you finish this degree, you'll be able to teach high-school drama?'" -- Former "NYPD Blue" on his parents' reaction after he told them he wanted to be an actor - USA Weekend (August 1999)
Celebrity hits like a bomb. So you have to find what makes you stable in the storm. Then, no matter what's happening around you, no matter what the hype or the publicity, you can still manage to make leaps in your work as an artist.
There are no right and wrong ways to work in this business, but there are some basic common-sense practices. Work very, very hard and always be prepared; never give up; and once you get the job, give them more than they ever expected: - Shine!
I like the gypsy aspect of this business.
I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that, if possible, they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.
I never thought television would or could be a long-term commitment.
I'm an actor. I love to act. That's my job. I'll leave the politicking to others.
I've been in California for about 15 years now. You're always in your car and insulated. I miss New York so much.
If you're afraid to live your life in a glass bubble, how can you do what we do in this industry?
In my college years, I worked as a union labor organizer. I was just one of the many workers trying to do my part to help the community.
Just give me a good role that allows me to hone my craft, and I am a pretty happy camper.
There's something so familial and intimate between a boxer and his trainer.
For minority actors, developing our own projects has to be the eventual path. We have a lot of stories to tell and a really unique voice. But none of that is going to be heard as long as we're just the hired hands, acting.
I've been very lucky to work on a wide variety of projects, including two long-run and top-10 dramatic television shows. That is why it is so important to offer a helping hand to the next generation of young Latinos coming up behind me.
When we are out there selling a new picture, when did it become part of the deal that you have to sell the family? To use the juicy part of your life to get attention? I'm not blaming the reporters. It's the system.
