Famous quotes by Jimmy Smits:

"OK, let's have a real debate,"

"[Going live evokes the immediacy of theater.] When you tell actors who have theater backgrounds that we're doing a live [TV] show, ... it's like total elation."

"It's loose enough that it will be exciting to the audience."

"No, he wants to win,"

"Jimmy is not a good talker, ... prepare doubly hard."

"Alan wants to cream me out there."

"What's important to me, ... is that we do good storytelling. I think we've been doing that and keep the audience on their toes, keep it topical. And, just to reinforce what Alan said before, is that both points of view are strong and I think since last season we've been doing that and will continue doing that."

"Diversity is the lifeblood of our vibrant city. The Conga Room is proud to partner with l.a. live to showcase its unique brand of Latin culture and music."

"The TV business is very fickle,"

"Tonight, we celebrate the contribution made by two Latinas from opposite ends of the programming spectrum: news and drama. Be it fact or fiction, we know that our reality -- Latino images and stories -- is often bypassed,"

"I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that, if possible, they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer."

"There's something so familial and intimate between a boxer and his trainer."

"Just give me a good role that allows me to hone my craft, and I am a pretty happy camper."

"Celebrity hits like a bomb."

"There are no right and wrong ways to work in this business, but there are some basic common-sense practices. Work very, very hard and always be prepared; never give up; and once you get the job, give them more than they ever expected: - Shine!"

"For minority actors, developing our own projects has to be the eventual path. We have a lot of stories to tell and a really unique voice. But none of that is going to be heard as long as we're just the hired hands, acting."

"I've been very lucky to work on a wide variety of projects, including two long-run and top-10 dramatic television shows. That is why it is so important to offer a helping hand to the next generation of young Latinos coming up behind me."

"I like the gypsy aspect of this business."

"If you're afraid to live your life in a glass bubble, how can you do what we do in this industry?"

"It's less about the physical training, in the end, than it is about the mental preparation: boxing is a chess game. You have to be skilled enough and have trained hard enough to know how many different ways you can counterattack in any situation, at any moment."
