Be proud of your Latino culture and do the best work you can do, and you will always succeed.

A lot of Latinos are like me: third generation, English speaking.

You go to Los Angeles or New York or Miami or Chicago, and you see Latinos everywhere; they are involved in every part of American society. That's why they have to start being represented in Hollywood, because an 'Americano' can't walk down the street and not see a Latino.

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

Latinos are very passionate, and they perform a lot, and look at me, I'm talking with my hands, and this is just my normal self, so it kind of allows me to be who I am and not dumb it down.

I feel so much pride to represent my community and be Latino. No doubt about it, above my career and sales being a Latino comes first.

I'm passionate about mobilizing young Latinos to get to the polls, so I'm involved with Voto Latino. Latinos are a vital but underrepresented force in this country.

Obviously there aren't enough Latino roles out there - I wish there were more of them - but there's got to be more in the future. I'm sure there will be more in the future. The public is asking for it.

The Latino population has become such a presence. We are part of the American tapestry in a very profound way, in every area you can think of, and are very significant in popular culture.

I want our young Latinos and Latinas to write their hearts out and express their hearts out and let us all listen to each other.
