I don't want the Latino community to think I think the reason Latino films are not doing well is because of us. It is not fully our responsibility.

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

Latinos are the fastest growing minority, and we're obviously not going anywhere. We're extremely loyal as a people, and I think Hollywood is starting to recognize that. It's very rare for a major studio to nationally distribute a film with Latino talent, not only in front of the camera, but also behind the camera.

Who said that being Latino is to be a stereotype? Characters are stereotypes when making plans or without shades. I do not believe in the picture or model established in the movies.

I do find that it's easier to get Latino-themed movies... but I don't think there's that stigma anymore. I think that what's harder is to be a woman, not to be a Latina.

Latinos don't go out and support their own films, but at the same time, it's not their responsibility.

The number of Latino roles is very limited, and it's unfortunate there isn't more color-blind casting.

It's interesting: I think, as a Latino actor, the biggest challenge is being called 'Latino' because immediately, the world has a perception of what that means.
