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.

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.

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

I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. It'll probably never happen.

TV and film for me are not as exciting as the live stand-up show and getting the immediate reaction of the crowd. TV is a lot of hurry up and wait for your shot and less immediate reaction from people.

You pigeon hole yourself by the title you give yourself.

I was a big fan of Rodney Dangerfield. He had this HBO Young Comedians Special and he'd always bring up new talent, and I loved that!
