Quotes

Jorge: (on getting back into stand-up comedy) It might be cool to do it again because now I'd get to play a better room than a coffee shop. (edit)
Jorge: I'm now in the position to be more responsible for myself. And being in Hawaii is very conducive to more outdoor activity. (edit)
Jorge: (referring to his character on "Lost") I guess now I've got to go with he's actually quite unlucky. I mean, he won the money but there's so much bad connected to that money that I don't know how you can consider that being lucky. (edit)
Jorge: (referring to his, "Lost " action figure) I saw the prototype at Comic-Con, held it, touched it, and now I'm anxious to see it in the plastic and the package and that whole thing. I mean, I'm going to buy a lot; I mean, they'll send me some but I'll probably buy a lot more and just give them to everybody for Christmas. (edit)
Jorge: (referring to "Lost") There's something cool about an being an actor when you're a regular as opposed to being a guest star, for example, because you can settle in and kind of enjoy and play at what you do. (edit)
