"As an actor, you may do things that aren't politically correct. Unless you're an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don't do the good, bad, and the ugly, we're not going to progress"

This quote by Rosie Perez speaks to the importance of taking threats as an actor. She suggests that if an actor just does things for political reasons, they will not have the ability to advance. This indicates that taking risks and doing things that may not be politically correct is necessary for development and advancement. By taking risks, an actor can check out different characters and stories, and press the borders of what is considered appropriate. This can cause more interesting and meaningful efficiencies, and can assist to progress the art kind. Ultimately, Rosie Perez is encouraging stars to take risks and to not be afraid to do things that may not be political correctness.
