When I first got to St. Louis, I saw the arch and I said, 'I want to go to that McDonalds.

You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.

I'm never home. I miss birthdays. I miss holidays. I miss anniversaries. I miss special moments. I'm not always there for important times, because I'm out on the road trying to make people laugh. I give up my privacy. I give up the ability to walk somewhere and relax.

Originally the big argument was that they wanted to call it "raw and uncut" and I told them I had a problem with that. When you say "raw" it implies that my show is dirty and that's not the case.

I was very dirty; I was a very dirty comic. There was no way I would have gotten on TV with the act I had when I first started.

For about three years I was performing at one bar in East Los Angeles that was like a mean dive bar. You're in there performing for drunks or bikers, not the most flattering people. I think it helped build my confidence, because you have to get their attention, then make them laugh.

I want to be known as a funny comic not just a funny Latino comic. I want to be able to go everywhere and anywhere.
