years life-is finding-someone
Life is not about making dough or how many movies you can make in a year. It's about finding someone that you can share things with.
mom wheels lap
My mom drove like Britney Spears with the steering wheel and me right here [in her lap]. I'm fine, I turned out okay.
food love
I love food, man! If it doesn't eat me first, I'll pretty much eat it.
shows success
I think success shows a person's true colors.
family four job
My first job was four words in 'Family Matters.' It was huge!
love movies people respect seen
People who have seen my movies don't look at me like an idol. They just give me a lot of love and respect.
main
The '80s were all about 'Saturday Night's Main Event.'
artistic call comic cool exact high kids people pretend school tease
When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.
exciting finally growing kid opportunity
I always appreciated that connection between a parent and a kid because I yearned for it so much. Growing up, I wanted a father, and because I've had this idea of what a father should be, it's exciting to finally have the opportunity to try and be that guy, to see if I can actually do it.
anybody throughout
I know throughout my childhood, there were many times I couldn't stand being a 'Jr.' I wouldn't want anybody else to go through that. If we'd had a boy, he wouldn't have been another Freddie Prinze.
fight hard supposed
I really fight hard to make things film where they're supposed to be filmed. If something is supposed to be in New York, then it has to be in New York.
everybody hated hulk
When I was a kid, everybody loved Hulk Hogan, right? 'Eat your vitamins. Eat your vegetables.' Everybody over 25 hated him because he was corny, right?
funny lenny puerto rican
But the only comparison that I want to Lenny Bruce is that I'm funny. I'm Freddie Prinze, Puerto Rican all the way.
across ask call god grade hit loves ruler seventh teachers
I was in seventh grade at St. Matthew's. The teachers would tell me, 'God loves you,' and then whack a ruler across my hand. 'Well,' I'd say, 'if God loves me, can you call God? Can you ask Him if it's all right that I didn't do my homework? If it's not, then let Him hit me.'
