I hope this movie can be a gut check and a visceral reminder to people of the danger from quakes, but then that people will also do a head check about how they can really be prepared…to react by looking at some good research and using their heads about the dangers we really face.

I think, for me, the biggest issue is poverty in general, poverty in this time of plenty. It's reflected in homelessness. It's reflected in educational gaps. It's reflected in racial disparities.

Latinos are not monochromatic. You know, they trace their ancestry back to South America, to Central America, to Mexico, like in my family, and the Caribbean. And it's - we're a very diverse group. And we care about a lot more than just immigration, though we're passionate about having sensible immigration policies that don't go after our families.
