My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I'm at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition.

I think that the Oscar gives you some kind of guts or something, it gives you the illusion that you can do it. It's good for business.

Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

Am I getting better at making choices? Well, I think I might be getting better at reading scripts.

I don't think I could be a foot soldier. I don't know if I could take orders too good. I'm a little lazy.

There's a lot of Latinos right now, a lot of filmmakers and writers that are Latin too.
