I love the idea that movies, like 'Fast Times,' can be iconic and change people's lives in little, tiny ways.

I love the idea of metamorphosing and changing, the legalized insanity of acting.

I have a nice little movie career, and I write plays and do my act.

Latin people love to dance. Nothing is more powerful than a Latin man doing 'Mambo Number 5' by himself.

I live in one of Judy Garland's houses. As a fan, I never much liked Judy Garland, but living here, I feel like I have come to know her. People have given me a few of her possessions, and my neighbors have told me things that I wish I didn't know.

To make money, I did portraits . The truth is so bizarre! I'm kind of embarrassed. I was like a 19th-century pirate painter. I'd say, 'Your mom would love a painting of you!' A salesman! I'd hawk paintings.
