Quotes

(Speaking as Khan Noonian Singh in Star Trek) Ricardo: It's better to rule in hell than serve in heaven. (edit)
Ricardo: In the purest sense of the word, be adventurous in everything. When you don't know anything you can't love anything. So be adventurous in every way. (edit)
Ricardo$: (When asked about his most challenging role)I was in Tokyo playing a kabuki actor in the movie Sayonara, and it was Christmas and I was homesick, and I couldn't learn the movements of the kabuki, which are so exacting. I actually cried out of desperation. It was one of my lowest ebbs as an actor. Eventually I was able to learn them, and I felt very free, because freedom comes from discipline, and that is the most disciplined theater in the world.
(edit)
Ricardo: Let's open a hand of friendship and love and brotherhood. That is my dream. I'll never see it complete while I'm still alive, but I think this is the beginning, and that is what makes me so happy to see this come to fruition. (edit)
Ricardo: Mexico is my mother; the United States the best friend I will ever have. And so I dream of the day when my mother will say, 'Ricardo, you have chosen a wonderful friend.' And the day when the friend will say, 'Ricardo, you have a sensational mother.' That is why it is very important to bring us together. Brothers and sisters, love thy neighbor as thyself. (edit)
