Trejo has said that he is amazed when he walks the streets where he used to commit crimes and children ask him for autographs. He also pointed out that he often chooses to play bad guys to teach younger audiences that bad guys often die or go to prison, and that one should try to live a decent life.
Trejo often speaks in front of youth groups and at colleges and encourages young people to avoid making the same mistakes he did while growing up. This is something he feels very strongly about.
