I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.

I had a whole new respect for directors.

I wanted to enjoy the process. I wanted to enjoy just being on stage and giving back and the feedback.

I was working at Kentucky Fried Chicken when my math teacher said, "You're failing in school, you're messing up, why don't you just try this?" I said, "Alright, let me try it," and I started going to acting classes and I loved it. I thought, "I may not make it but I love doing it."

So many people, my friends and family, were all saying, "You're so funny. Why don't you become a comedian or an actor?" But it wasn't a reality at the time, it wasn't a road that Latin people were accepted in.

I did an HBO movie called Undefeated that I directed. It was too hard.

People can be anonymous when they go on blogs and say crazy things that they would never have the courage to say to your face.
