The female love interest is boring to me. A female that's interesting, smart, funny - that's what I'm drawn to. I wouldn't say that every character has to be smart, but she has to have one trait I can relate to.

I definitely can relate to being down and closed-off at certain times in my life.

Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.

I realized two things from an early age - I was insane and had some kind of comedic thing going on. My brain was wired to think about things in terms of how funny they were.

I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.

My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.

Social media is a way to make communication easier. Obviously some people misunderstand it, some people take it personally, and some people are in a constant fight to grow their engagement. They even become obsessed. They feel like they need to be popular on social media. The most important thing is: You've got to be secure in yourself. In order to have influence on other people, you've got to know who you are, first of all. The reason I get happy when I get more engagement is because that means I did something right in terms of my audience enjoying my content.
