There’s no way you can go home and learn lines, because you need to go home and sleep. So I’ve figured out systems. I order two lunches so I can eat dinner before I leave work, so when I get home, I can just go to bed.
You kind of wake up in the morning, and you don’t see anybody but these actors until you go home at night and pass out and do it again. So it’s structured a lot like the process when you’re making a film. You just kind of get in that tunnel vision. I like that. I like when the rest of the world kind of quiets.

I like getting together with friends and just making fun of ourselves and stupid things I’ve done or I’ve seen them do – and good races we’ve had together. When I go home to California, I always talk to my go-kart friends about when we were racing at Red Bluff or Cycleland.
I’m one of those people, in any country I’m in, if somebody could just put me in a car or a bus, I’ll look out the window and say, ‘OK, there’s the Tower of London, there’s Buckingham Palace, there’s Big Ben,’ and if it all takes about five minutes, perfect. I’ve seen all of it and I can go home.

When I go home to visit my parents, my mom is your typical Mexican loving mom. She wants to cook and feed everybody.
I don’t take off my nail polish when I go home because I’m too lazy, and they’re fine with it. Maybe the checkout at the grocery store’s not so great with it, but they’re fine with it. The distrust, the phobias, those are learned, those are taught. But the natural grace is to understand and to love.
If I worked as a waiter, I’d go home and write songs and record them. I’d have to. It’s the only thing I know how to do. It’s the only thing I can do.

Maybe I should just go home and ride my tractor.

I’m going to do what I want, get my money and go home.

On ‘Scandal,’ the majority of the cast, if not all of the cast, comes from theater, so it’s a healthy environment. People come into work and actually go home to their families.

Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home, and that’s where the problem starts – because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who’s ‘liked’ a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them.

I’m a wuss. I’m a pushover and a wuss. But it’s worth it. And that’s the joy of being an NBA player. Because I can go out on the court and be an animal, be a beast. I ain’t a pushover. But when I go home when I’m with my family, my friends and my wife and my child, I’m just Dad and a husband.
