The most important thing is to understand that this career is not about speed. It's about stamina. This is a marathon. It's not a 50-meter sprint. You have to persevere and understand it takes a lot of time. You have to know you're going to knock on 100 doors and 99 of them are going to close in your face.

I don't know if I felt successful, but I did feel a difference in my career, or in how people perceive me, or how people reacted on the street right after I did the Mexican version of 'Ugly Betty.' That show was a complete success, thank God. It broke historical ratings records in Mexico and also the U.S.

The worst job I ever had was when I had to try to sell a service for medical waste treatment.

Phenomenons only happen once in a lifetime.

January 14, 2000, was my first time on stage, and I've been hooked ever since. I got discovered nationally in Seattle by the now-defunct HBO Comedy Festival, and that led to an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and a path to a professional comedy career.

One has to develop a sense of humor to cope.

Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.

I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring.
