Erik Estrada Quotes

• [2011, as a guest on The Enrique Santos Show, on running into comedian George Lopez and challenging him to a fight after Lopez had been constantly badmouthing him in his stand up routines because Estrada wouldn’t sign an autograph nor shake his hand when Lopez was a kid] I extended an olive branch in my hand and he wouldn’t take it, so then I said, then the street came out in me, then I said, “But look, if you want to settle your beef with me, let’s me and you go behind that truck right now, mutual agreement” – because, you know, I carry a gun and a badge, but I would’ve given it to the other cops that were working security- and I said, “Let’s go behind the truck and settle it, man, you know. If you really hate me that much, wouldn’t you just like to take a shot? Let’s do it” and he says, “I’m a comedian, not a fighter” and I said, “No, you’re not, you’re a bully with a microphone” and it stayed like that and that was it… No, I’m done with him, man.
