There's no real preparing at home for stand-up. You just go and you just do it.

It's a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people laugh about them.

I do have very deep, fond memories of my family in Mexico City, but I also remember feeling funny for not speaking English - I was basically an immigrant. But I picked up the language fast and soon I knew that I wanted to be a writer.

For my scale, how I grew up and live my life, I'm making plenty of money.

Young people don't even consider that it's a good idea to be out on the fringe, which is where good ideas come from.

I'd love to have a shitty job. I couldn't hold any down. Standup was the only thing I could stick with. I'm an idiot that way.

I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
