I just always loved comedy and I really wanted to be good at it. And it was heartbreaking, 'cause I started and I wasn't good at it. I was only 17-years-old, so I had a lot to learn about life in general. But I just kept on trying. I was young enough and stupid enough and I had no other choice. I had nothing else I was good at.

The thing is, comedy's gone in a weird direction. People are really into ironic comedy and fakeness and cleverness.

There’s a need to perfect things in a writers’ room, and that can take a lot of fun out of a show sometimes. It’s a struggle. It depends on your personality. Some people love working with a writing staff. I had a great writing staff on Lucky Louie, but it sometimes felt like Congress or something.

I do have very deep, fond memories of my family in Mexico City, but I also remember feeling funny for not speaking English - I was basically an immigrant. But I picked up the language fast and soon I knew that I wanted to be a writer.

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It's like they're the instrument you're playing.

A very painful part of being a parent is having really negative feelings about your children when you love them so much.

When I am in a hotel, and I turn off the lights and the TV, I just freak out. I turn the TV back on and don't get any sleep.

You have to be aware of who you're talking to in an audience.

People don't talk to me on airplanes.

I'm not sure why I'm so often disgusting on stage. I don't always know where it comes from.

I have a lot of beliefs, and I live by none of them - that's just the way I am they make me feel good about who I am.

I found out that I'm a pretty bad father. I make a lot of mistakes and I don't know what I'm doing. But my kids love me. Go figure.

A lot of stand-up specials for cable are meant to glorify the comedian. They put you in a really beautiful theater, and sometimes they even blow a little smoke in there to make it misty and sweet. They make the guy look like he's a big rock star. But comedy's not really glamorous. It doesn't enhance comedy for it to look good.

Comedy isn't polite and it isn't correct and it isn't accurate, even. It's just a mess. So that's the way that I approach it.

I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.
