I got off the plane - I was walking and cooking at the same time.

In the beginning, when I was doing my shows, I was incorporating a lot of Spanish, just trying to be a Latino comic instead of just a comic. Now I try to make the show as broad as possible... I don't want to alienate people. I want to make it so everybody can follow along and everybody can relate.

I found that laughter was a form of acceptance, and I really enjoyed that and I just - I crave it.

I talked about the stuff so openly that people are able to connect and relate. I put everything out there [into the network], and if I'm having a bad time, people know about it.

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

Now I understand why people do drugs, why people drink, and why people go crazy. As the success level goes up and up and up, the further detached I get from everybody else. Luckily, with my girlfriend, everything is gravy because I brought her into it. I brought her in and she's very hands on with my career.

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.
