As an actor, you may do things that aren’t politically correct. Unless you’re an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don’t do the good, bad, and the ugly, we’re not going to progress.
Meaning of the quote
Actors sometimes have to play characters who do or say things that may not be considered proper or acceptable by everyone. But if actors only ever play roles that are politically correct, they won't be able to show the full range of human experiences, both good and bad. For us to grow and improve as a society, we need to be willing to explore and understand the whole spectrum of human behavior, not just the parts that are comfortable or popular.

As far as a Latin explosion, I’m sorry, I’m the only Latino who’s going to say it, but there is no Latin explosion. I’m sorry. Four or five top box office people do not make it an explosion, and it’s disgusting to me that people will perceive it that way.
