Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.

My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.

I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.

I wanted to play a TV detective because it's a rite of passage; I wanted to experience every area of acting. I haven't done comedy or as much Shakespeare as I had intended.

Stand-up comedy is something that you have to strive to do, multiple times a night, every night, to be good.

Eddie Murphy was the Michael Jordan of comedy. He had a full range of abilities.

The thing about comedy is that you don't have to play funny.
