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.

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.

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.

Literally, I kissed a girl, and ,like, a week later, she broke up with me. I was like, 'Oh my God, was it that bad?!'

There is a knowledge that is beyond the mind and the intellect, it is the wisdom of consciousness.

If you do not read and listen to the opposite ideas, you can always remain a stupid person! Opposite ideas, however contrary they may sound, are your greater chances on the way to truth!

The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.

I was able to do that [showing up of Democratic benefits] when I was the candidate. But I've not seen or presided over that kind of systematic outreach that I think needs to happen.

For me, coming to work and laughing is so much more preferable than coming to work and having to cry over a corpse or something. That's a drag.

Diogenes, when asked from what country he came, replied, "I am a citizen of the world."

If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

I’m only able to write poetry, for the most part, when I have a Muse, a woman who focuses the world for me.

As a culture moves from orality to writing to printing to televising, its ideas of truth move with it.

Perhaps Kafka laughed when he told stories [. . . ] because one isn't always equal to oneself.
