USA Bus Lines

Please help Selena fans! I need a quote from the movie!?

I need the quote from the movie Selena. It is when Abraham is driving bus and Selena is talking to him about singing in Mexico and he says something to the effect: We mexicans have to walk a fine line, we aren't Mexican enough for the Mexicans and we are not White enough for the U.S..... I can't really remember how it goes and don't own movie! I want to use it in a paper for school!!!

1. Abraham: We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting!
2. i watched that movie like a doz times but cant remember,,,shucks
3. That line sounds familiar, but I don't know it word for word. My favorite line was when the two guys pulled the RV out of the ditch and were peeing their pants with excitement. "Annnnnnything for Selena!" I knew a Corrina so I would always embarrass her by saying, "Annnnnnnything for Corrina!"
4. it was something like "we have to speak perfect spanish for the mexicans and perfect engligh for the americans". I'm not exactly sure either, sorry. you can try looking that clip up on youtube or just renting the movie.
5. "We gotta be twice as perfect as anybody else....and we gotta prove to the Mexicans how Mexican we are and we gotta prove to the Americans how American we are. We gotta be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time. It's exhausting!....Nobody knows how hard it is to be a Mexican-American."
