Myself
(page 7)
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry.
To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.
I like to be myself, and I don't pretend. For instance, I don't dress up for occasions; I am what I am.
I'm proud of myself. I could break and go get all this plastic surgery and get my nose fixed and get lipo or do whatever, but I haven't chosen to do that because I know I'm a great person. I'm pretty damn hot, if you ask me.
I like to consider myself an actor who just happens to be Hispanic.
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.
I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me.
One thing about me is that I'm very much like the Black Madonna. I love to reinvent myself and that's because I am a very free person.
When I have a chance to go back to my village, I always remind myself where I came from.
It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.
My face hasn't matured as I've grown up, and neither has my sense of humour. In the mirror, I see an older version of myself as a child, although I do have more wrinkles and freckles.
I had always loved music. I grew up listening to classic country, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard. My dad loved Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley. So I kept going to class and started getting totally into playing guitar and teaching myself these songs.
