Being on TV sucks. It's a lot of work. You memorize scripts and then you show up and they change everything. I'm a control freak. When I'm doing stand-up, I say what I want and then I get instant feedback.

Finding places to perform was definitely the biggest challenge. Trying to find my voice over the years was a big thing because when I started I was just doing characters and impressions and that was it.

You know what I learned about Hawaiians? They're just blown up Mexicans!

I see a Latino comic as someone who can only perform for Latino audiences. I cross the board.

Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.

When you go to Hawaii, it's all about "Aloha." It means hello, goodbye and I love you.

[ The aim to be big] is not a joke about my size. It's just that I'm a dreamer, but I'm following through with it. I believe anyone can do it as long as they focus and have a game plan.
