Here's the problem: People have completely and utterly forgotten one thing when it comes to communication - intent. ”

I could always talk about being a Latino and having a Mexican mom and a Honduran dad and being from Honduras. That was always an easy go-to place. But on the other hand, it was a crutch. ”

I'm afraid of being poor; I'm afraid of living in the projects... I'm afraid of being thought as unsuccessful. ”

It's not hard to lose weight. ”

The weight loss came about because a buddy of mine who was diagnosed with diabetes because of his obesity told me that I was fat. And I started laughing, and he was like, 'No seriously, you're fat.' And I said, 'Oh wow, really.' ”

I hate being judged. ”

On stage, I'm really, really tall. I'm five-foot-9, but on stage, I'm, like, six-foot-5. ”

You can take my dirtiest, craziest joke, and I can break down in my head why there's a good, honest, honorable reason for telling it. ”

I'm like most people in America. I'm conservative on some things, and I'm liberal on other things. ”

Nobody calls me a racist when I do redneck jokes. Jeff Foxworthy can do as many 'You might be a redneck jokes' as he wants, but I'm telling you as soon as a guy like that does a black joke or something - 'How dare you!' I totally think it's unfair. ”
