My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.

My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing.

I am the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.

When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. We'd play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. He'd read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories.
