(on his success) I felt I was the luckiest guy in the world when I landed La Bamba (1987), and I still feel the same way. I feel fortunate to be employed in the film business, and still be standing. There`s a lot of guys that were around when I made "La Bamba" who aren`t as fortunate - and it`s not a matter of talent or hard work, it`s just the breaks sometimes, you know? I`ve been fortunate that the right film has come along for me every couple of years. I`ve been lucky, I think.
