Hector Elizondo quotes about
I was working for Neil Simon on Broadway.
Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.
I love Russian, because it's delicious to speak like that. If you have to speak French, you can also do that, because it's not difficult. Accents are a cool thing to do. And I love doing them.
Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.
Every day is Valentine's Day! I'm a hopeless romantic.
I've dodged bullets but there's no scandal in my life.
I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you'd make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.
I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.
It's the strings vibrating at the same time but separately that makes a good marriage. It messy, it's complicated and it's quite wonderful.
I started in radio, again accidentally. I wasn't looking for this kind of work at all.
