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.

When you're a comedian, the Holy Grail is an hour long HBO special.

I still come out to music that's in Spanish. There's no denying who I am, but I've just made it to where my performance is so anybody can understand it - whether you're 10 years old or 80 years old.

I remember seeing Eddie Murphy RAW and seeing people laughing and having a good time and that was the same response I was getting so I thought I was on to something.

You gotta live life before you can talk about it. Sometimes when things don't work out in life, they work out on stage.

Kids, man, they're way too honest. They're like mini-alcoholics.

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