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.

Because I grew up in McAllen, we would watch Televisa a lot.

I love the Rio Grande Valley. I always say it's home - Texas is home. I've been out in L.A. a little over ten years, and I still get so excited when I go back home. It just feels comfortable; it makes me smile.

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

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.

A lot of my material was based on my family.

I'm not trying to represent the whole Latino community. There are too many different cultures, and Latinos will always say, 'My family doesn't do that.'
