Rosario Isabel Dawson (born May 9, 1979) is an American actress, singer, and writer. She has appeared in films such as Kids, Men in Black II, 25th Hour, Sin City, Clerks II, Rent, Death Proof, The Rundown, Eagle Eye, Alexander, Seven Pounds, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Unstoppable.
Dawson was born in New York City. Her mother, Isabel Celeste, is a writer and singer who is of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent. Isabel was seventeen years old when Rosario was born; she never married Rosario's biological father, Patrick C. Harris. When Isabel was eighteen, she married Greg Dawson, a construction worker, who "loved and raised Rosario as his own daughter" (Dawson has stated that "He's always been my dad"). Dawson has a brother, Clay, who is four years younger. Her parents divorced in 2006.
At the age of 21, Isabel moved the family into an abandoned building squat on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where she and her husband renovated an apartment and installed the plumbing and electrical wiring for the building, creating affordable housing where Rosario and Clay would grow up. Dawson has cited this part of her history when explaining how she learned that "If you wanted something better, you had to do it yourself."

Nalinle: Why did you come back, Massai?::Massai: This is where I belong.::Nalinle: Is it? Is this where you plan to die?::Massai: Only a warrior chooses a place to die. I am no longer a warrior.
Massai: I must hunt with the bow again. I may not be back tonight.::Nalinle: You will come back?::Massai: You know I would not leave my rifle.
Massai: You call that life? If an Apache cannot live in his home mountains like his fathers before him, he is already dead!
Massai: You have a woman and yet you carry the water?::Clagg: Some of the white man's ways are hard.
Santos: Even a hawk is an eagle among crows.
Massai: If the Cherokee is like the white man, then he is Massai's enemy.::Clagg: I am the enemy of no man.::Massai: Then the Cherokee is a woman!::Clagg: I am no woman! My people have fought the white man many times but have always been driven west. First from a place called Carolina, then the land of Tennessee and then at last to Oklahoma. But there our chiefs grew wise. They did not fight and they did not run.::Massai: Neither does the turtle.::Clagg: Are you afraid of the turtle? Then put your knife away.
Massai: Apaches are warriors, not farmers.::Clagg: You have seen the world of the white man...their numbers are like leaves on the trees. That taught you nothing? The warriors' day is over. Once we Cherokees were like the Apaches. We feasted when the hunting was good. We starved when it was bad. But the white man ate all year around...because he raised his own food. We found we could live with the white man...only if we live like him.
Nalinle: But will they not say that growing corn is woman's work?::Massai: I am a warrior. What I do can never be woman's work.
Nalinle: My father wronged you. Many men have wronged you. But now you make yourself worse than they are. Now there is nothing in you but hate. You fight only yourself. You kill only for yourself. You are like a dying wolf biting at its own wounds.
Al Sieber: You want us to kill you, don't you Massai, right out here in front of all your blood-thirsty brethren, so they can sing your praises around the campfire and start another war in your honor. It would be a sweet death, wouldn't it, Massai? A warrior's death. But you're not a warrior any more. You're just a whipped Indian... and nobody sings about handcuffs.

We pulled into portland town
We been on the road
Rock and rolling for the crowd
Three more nights to go
But if I don't find someone tonight
I just won't make it through
I'm going out in portland town
And see what I can do
You know, it's very cold in portland town
This time of the year,
I wouldn't mind if I could find
Someone to hold me near
And there's a little girl,
She looks lost and lonely
Backstage at the show
I'm going up and asking her
Hey, would you like to go
You see I need me a portland woman
I don't want to be alone tonight
I want to get me a portland woman
Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
We pulled out of portland town
Almost right on time,
The little girl that I had found,
Her I left behind
But I haven't felt too good
Since I left portland yesterday
I'm going back to portland town,
Now what more can I say
I wanna get me a portland woman
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I wanna get me a portland woman
Portland women treat you right
Portland's gonna be mine tonight
