Danny Trejo quotes:

The Only Things That Were Available To Me Were Either Be A Laborer Or Be A Drug Dealer. So I Became An Armed Robber. It Was A Lot Simpler.

Everything good that's ever happened to me came out of helping others.

I would have been content with still playing Inmate #1. I worked on every prison movie made, from 1985 to 1991. I would go from movie to movie to movie.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

I love old, vintage cars. I've got a 1936 Dodge Touring Sedan right now and there's only five of them registered in the world, and I absolutely love working on it. It's gorgeous.

I had a crush Florence Henderson when I was younger, i would love to meet Marcia but I would prefer mom.

When people come at me they can't win, they think they can, but they can't. I'll just walk away.

Acting is just a job. I'm exactly the same as that lady bringing us coffee, and I have to remember that.

Nobody gets killed when they're happy. It always starts with an argument, or a debt.

I love to work, so give me what you've got. I'll play a tree, if you want me to. If you want fruit on it, then pay me more money. Otherwise, I just love to work.

I love action films. I don't really like drama.

The first five years of my career, I was Inmate #1, Bad Guy #1 and Mean Guy #1. I had a great career going, until somebody told me that I was typecast. I said, "Well, what's typecast?" And they said, "Well, you're always playing the mean Chicano dude with tattoos." I thought about that and I said, "Wait a minute! I am the mean Chicano dude with tattoos, so somebody is getting it right."

In order to make a great, epic movie, you have to have the four Bs - babes, bullets, blood and blades.

When people clap for me I say, don't clap for me, clap for what God has done.

I didn't make a deal with God, because you can't make a deal with God. He put me here to talk to kids and to talk to drunks and help addicts. He gave me this "job" which makes it a lot easier to get through to people.

There is no significance of God in my life, God is my life. I would not be, without God. I am supposed to be dead.

If you look at the people in Hollywood who are heavy partiers, they're selfish, self-centered and egotistical.

I relate to any prison movie, as long as it has some authenticity.

I never imagined that I'd be out of prison.

I understand the formula that producers hire directors and directors are hired to direct and actors are hired to act. I don't have any conflict with any directors because I know they're the boss.

I think I'm a workaholic, but I'm a workaholic that is loving his work.
