Once I moved to Chicago and started trying to get acting jobs, I just tended to book more things that were comedically based than anything else. I never had the preconceived notion, 'I will be a comedic actor.' I just thought, 'I'll go into acting and see what kind of work I can get.'
I'm a comedian who happens to be Latino. What's the difference? The difference is, my special will air on Comedy Central, not Telemundo.
In a lot of comedy shows, there's a safety net where you don't assume anything of real consequence will happen.
The Judge is before the door: he that cometh will come, and will not tarry: his reward is with him.
I don't really have much to prove. I can easily go in a comfort zone, make two films a year, hype them because I've signed them as a star, make them cheap and they will be big hits.

Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
As a soldier, I stand ready to serve and protect and defend this country. And as a soldier, I know the cost of war. And as president and commander-in-chief, I will end these regime-change wars.
None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
And that will increasingly dawn on people. The demand for controlling the commanding heights will grow.

Say what you will about the ten commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.
