As a comedian, especially one that works as much as I do, there is a lot of sacrifice. People don't see that I'm away from my family 46 weeks out of the year. I miss all the birthdays and anniversaries and holidays.

I see a lot of nice hotels, but I never really get to enjoy the cities, because I have to be on a plane the next day.

I eat a lot of junk food, because that's what's usually available at 1:00am when I'm all done working.

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.

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.

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

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.
