The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Eugenio Derbez
- I love breaking stereotypes.
- My mom was a soap opera queen in Mexico and Latin America. I started acting because of her.
- ‘Instructions Not Included’ is proving that there is a huge Latin market that needs a special project. They love seeing their own people; they want to see themselves onscreen. In my case, I know them pretty well. I know what they laugh at. I think it’s going to open a lot of doors, this movie.
- When I started coming to the U.S., they were offering me only the typical stereotypical roles: the druggard, the criminal, the gang member, or in the best-case scenario, the gardener or the cook. I was fed up with all these roles that were always the same. And I promised I would try to change the image of Latinos in Hollywood.
- I’ve wanted to come to the U.S. since I was 8 years old. Every single year, my mom and I watched the Oscars. I always told her, ‘I want to do that when I grow up. I want to tell stories; I want to be an actor and director.’
- I’ve learned that you never have to think about how to make money. You need only to focus on what you think is going to be a good movie or what’s a movie I’d like to watch as the audience.
- I’ve learned that when I’m directing, I hate when people are always questioning everything and trying to give me directions.
- I have way more freedom in Los Angeles and in the U.S. But it’s funny because when I have a meeting with producers or people from the industry, we go to a restaurant to meet someone, and nobody knows me. But all of the sudden, the entire kitchen comes out, and they start taking pictures with me, or at valet parking.
- It’s not easy to direct in another language, especially comedy.
- To try to crack into Hollywood, it’s a dream come true.
