I mean, a Mexican boy couldn't be anything else but an Indian. And why did you take the name of Quinn, they used to say to me. Hey, you're an Indian, so I played Indians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, I am a Mexican, and I have a past and a culture. But what matters is the film itself, not where it was financed or cast.
I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.
After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I'm Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity.
As a boy, I felt ashamed of being Mexican. I'd say I was Hawaiian.
My parents gave me a Mexican name. In our culture, we are named after the events of the day.
Everything that is really Mexican is either Aztec or Spanish.
I do have a Mexican accent, but that doesn't mean that I'm a Latin vamp.
It's really tough to be a Mexican on 'Breaking Bad.'
I'm Mexican-American. My dad was actually born in Mexico. He was raised up there, and he came back and forth to America pretty much his whole teenage years. My mom is from Sacramento, California, and she's a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. She's a whitey.
It's funny, because I've never thought of myself as a Hispanic actor, like in 'American Gangster,' I'm playing an Italian. I've always been fortunate enough to have been allowed to play all these diverse roles.
