I once called a guy into his own office and spun around in his own chair to greet him. That kind of thing may be why I quit, before I got into serious trouble. I would smile and the person would get so upset. But you do a thousand of those things, and it makes you weird.

I'm not much for setup... punch line. I talk about my kids. I talk about my wife.

I don't really move onstage; all I do is just gradually hunch more and more and jut out at the people in the front row.

I'm so sick of people treating Latinos like some homogenous group that all feel the same way about everything.

People ask what my influences are, and for me, it's not always obvious. One of my biggest inspirations was Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders. That's based on how she just does whatever she wants to do, and I love her attitude about everything. It bleeds over into my way of thinking and comedy.

I enjoy doing all kinds of roles, but I don't want to be restricted to comedy alone.

At first, when we had the Golden Truth, it was fun - but it was always in the back of my head that I'm destined for so much more. I can be so much better than this, than the old comedy act that they want me to be.

I would love to do a romantic comedy - a good one.
