Michael Anthony Peña Quotes

• I’ve always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.
• I used to tour with this band. I was a drummer. I would tour a bunch for about 10 months out of the year and act for about two months. I would make what I needed from acting and would stretch it out.
• I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.
• It’s so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what’s funny.
• A good comic explores the imagination, but it’s always got to have those notes of truth running through it.
• I want to do more sci-fi films. I want to play half-alien, half-illegal alien.
• I think writing is the most underrated thing in Hollywood.
• The joy of ‘Crash’ was that it was all about the work. It was my first real part. Before that, it was a line here and there, maybe a scene. ‘Crash’ was five scenes, a beautiful arc, a little vignette of my own. It really meant something.
• My first ten years in Hollywood were really tough. I’d be coaching friends who came to me for acting advice, and then they’d make it before I did. I’d still be helping them while they were on movie sets and I had four lines on a TV show.
• I guess people recognize me, but I’m not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don’t want is to be followed by paparazzi.
• I’m just an actor. If it’s drama, I add as much humor as the part will stand. And if it’s a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don’t wanna be too serious.
