Mario Lopez's Quotes

• I love talking about women because they are a constant study and you're always learning.
• [Who already admitted that his steamy spread in the magazine has brought him no shortage of female admirers]: People come up to me and ask me to sign it a lot. They say, 'What were you thinking?' And 'how did it feel?' And 'you're naked!' And 'oh my gosh!' And 'my mother and my grandmother, they put it up in their room.' And it's funny. I didn't think it was going to cause such a big stir.
• [on the Saved by the Bell (1989) 20-year Anniversary Special]: Everybody knew the 20-year anniversary was coming up. This People story has been in the works for over a year, long before [late night host] Jimmy Fallon started talking about it. We were all excited about it.
• I wouldn't make it past the first round! These kids are extremely talented and athletic.
• [on his book, Mud Tacos]: It's stories about my sister Marisa and me growing up. My grandmother was always cooking, and she never let us in the house. So in the backyard, we made taco shells out of leaves and meat out of mud. The book encourages kids to use their imagination ... plus you learn a little Spanish. I think kids are going to dig it.
