I think a lot of Americans forget that they are not originally from here, that somebody in their past was a refugee.

The AT&T commercials are the most fun acting opportunity that anyone could ask for. That being said, directing exercises a part of my brain that is really fun that I don't get to try out as an actor.

I do know what it's like to be an outsider.

There weren't any funny people in sports or the Spanish club. All the really creative, witty, funny people that made your belly hurt were in the theater program.

Comedy is my soft spot.

Men and women are like cats and dogs. I've learned more about myself from women. My comedy is based on this.

If you look at shows like 'Def Comedy Jam' in its heyday, there were so many really funny, talented black comics that never would have gotten on that show because they just weren't doing comedy that fit that mold.
