| 1 | Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game. |
| 2 | It is my belief that Latinos in show business have to be self sufficient and creative while aggressively attempting to penetrate post-mogul Hollywood. Self- starting is becoming the path to serious studio support. |
| 3 | Latinos are black, white, brown, beige. What does that say about our ancestors? We'll sleep with anybody! |
