I've always been a writer, actually. Not many people assume that, but I kinda keep quiet about anything that I do until I'm ready to show it. It keeps me humble and also makes me work towards a goal.

Some people either really like me or some people don't like me, but even if you don't like me right now or you kinda like me right now, this isn't the end for me, I'm going to continue.

I like to stay artistic. So I always like to draw or write.

I grew up in a big ol' Latin family, so that's all the music we used to play - salsa music. We'd always dance and have fun. You know how families get down, man! We just had fun with it.

I'm always thinking if I'm not doing something to get ahead in life, someone else is doing it.

I was a professional fighter for a while, and I trained in martial arts for seven years, so I think that kind of helped form a base for me as far as dancing.

I'm a sucker for a woman with beautiful eyes.

For aspiring actors out there, I would say stay focused and don't let anyone pull you away from your goals. Shoot for the stars so that if you ever fall short you can land on the clouds.

The compliment that I like more than anything is when my family tells me I'm the same Ryan. I never want to become a celeb who forgets about anybody or has a big head about himself.

Any Latin dance, whether it be salsa, cha cha, samba, etc., is very sexy for me to see a woman do. Using your hips is the key.

I'm kind of a neat freak. My place is really organized. My socks are even organized: colors and sizes.

Philadelphians are every whit as mediocre as their neighbors, but they seldom encourage each other in mediocrity by giving it a more agreeable name.

When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth.

Alas! by what slight means are great affairs brought to destruction.

The biggest happiness is when at the end of the year you feel better than at the beginning

Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked).

I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

Art is about paying attention.

We don't vogue, we are 'Vogue'.

One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought

Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.
