David Zayas Quotes
- I love it and it is a blessing to be able to have seventy-five to eighty episodes to develop a character and find your voice.

- There’s not too many things I’m afraid of, but I’m not too brave when it comes to sitting in a chair getting my teeth drilled.

- I saw the original that Gela Babluani wrote and directed called ’13 Tzameti,’ and that was very interesting. I believe it was a French film, and I was just intrigued by the awkwardness; the off-beatness of the film really just grasped me.
- To get into another person’s mindset and what they are trying to do with their project is a challenge, and it is what I like.
- Art has to be reflective of our society.
- Part of an actor’s job, in my opinion, is adjust to the characteristics of the director and try to understand to how he tries to work.
