John Leguizamo's quotes
- [on what was it like in the clown suit while filming Spawn (1997)] Like a penis wearing a condom.
- I see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don't open, we crowbar our way in.
- Comics are much smarter than actors. Most comedians come from a hard life, and have to struggle a lot. You have to have a lot of skills. When you can hone all of that, and act, you're going to blow the world away.
- I loved working on Carlito's Way (1993) with Brian De Palma - it was so exciting and the first time I really understood what film acting was for me.
- Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do, you don't for a long time.
- You know, I like talking about myself. I am my favorite subject. After all, I do a one-man show. Is there a more egomaniac thing you could do?
- [on boycotting the 2020 Emmys]If you don't have Latin people, there's no reason for me to see it. What's the point?
- It's unbelievable that our stories aren't being told and there's one reason for that. Executives don't see us, don't get us - don't care about us
- We're less than one percent of the stories being told by Hollywood streamers and networks, that's cultural apartheid
- I'm just dying to see positive Latin stories out there
