Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.

I'm always very happy to talk to people. I relate to people, and the guy on stage is very much the guy that's off stage. People know when it's fake.

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

When you leave, you basically want to go eat, because I talk a lot about food in my act. So when you leave, you leave hungry.

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'm all about showing people that I'm a little messed up, I have a lot of the same problems you have. By exposing myself and putting myself out there, people can relate to me and my act won't grow stale. I mean, nobody wants to hear a comedian say, 'Life is great.'

You gotta live life before you can talk about it. Sometimes when things don't work out in life, they work out on stage.

As far as guys who perform onstage, I love Chris Rock. I'm kind of jaded on everyone else.

Believe it or not, I've got a really bad metabolism. One burger and I'm done. I'm not a guy that puts away 10 burgers.

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