My goal has always been to just kind of show how my family, we might be a different culture, but we're completely like everybody else.

The first eight years of my life, we lived in an abandoned diner - we were basically squatters.

I always knew, even as a kid, that my mom had a really rough life, and I always wanted to make her feel happy and to make her feel good.

My stand-up has a lot of performance in it, and I loved doing it so much that, after years, I put the idea of having a show on the back burner.

We have to start calling sexual harassment out because only then can we start to make progress on it.

I understand a lot of celebrities lose weight because they have the opportunity to get in shape and become healthier, but when you get so polished, you can't tell the story of a blue-collar family anymore.

When you have a different name, people just kind of take the liberty to spell it how they want.
