Quote of the Day: “Ask a Mexican” won’t go Hollywood

“A movie director told me, ‘You can be the next Cantinflas,’ ” he said, referring to Mario Moreno, a revered Mexican comic actor who died in 1993. “I just said ‘No, no, you’re missing the point. This is satire. Outrageousness mixed in with jarring truth.’ ”

--Author Gustavo Arellano (best known for his weekly “Ask a Mexican” column) via a New York Times article.
