I think the most important thing that marijuana does is it affects the brain.

It's like love making, the foreplay is the biggest part, the same thing as comedy. If you can frame your show in such a way that the funny jokes become funnier.

People didn't relate to me as being Chinese or white, just being a hippie, a long-haired hippie.

We have never been big smokers, neither Cheech [Marine] nor I. We were too creative, and we had a lot to do. We are actors and to be honest, I am the type of person that can reference a thought or a smell and get high.

Everything that happens to me is very cosmic.

Marijuana grows everywhere in the world. And it really is currency, if you think about it.

There's the exciting part about comedy - if you catch an act just before they go mainstream, that's the best. After they hit the mainstream, everything gets watered down a little bit.
