"As a person of color, there's no getting around the reality of its responsibility." - Benjamin Bratt, quoted in The New York Times, Nov. 26, 1995
About the time spent on Alcatraz as a boy: "At 5 years old, I had little understanding of the reasons behind the occupation and my mother's participation in it. I will say, however, that it felt like a natural place to be, very welcoming, very much like a village. Only in hindsight can I grasp the fortitude it took her to single-handedly raise five young kids and be as politically active as she was. I am in awe of her strength and will." - Bratt quoted in Us, June 1999
Bratt, who surfs, was quoted in USA Today (Nov. 8, 1995): "It's a very spiritual and humbling sport. I do some of my best thinking out there. I feel very close to the Creator out there."

Too often, the industry tends to generalize the character's ethnic makeup. They don't ever really take into account that millions of people in this country are made up of many different cultural backgrounds." - Bratt quoted in Daily News, Feb. 9, 1996
