My family doesn't understand trying to chase your dreams because they were all about survival.

We have to start calling sexual harassment out because only then can we start to make progress on it.

It might sound dramatic and a little grandiose, but as a Latina, I would like to be someone that gives a voice to my culture.

Whatever you want to do with your life, you really got to want it. And if you want it, and you work hard, it will happen.

I'm not trying to represent the whole Latino community. There are too many different cultures, and Latinos will always say, 'My family doesn't do that.'

My stand-up has a lot of performance in it, and I loved doing it so much that, after years, I put the idea of having a show on the back burner.

There aren't any concrete steps to becoming a comic.

The Word of God is a light on our path.

It is not yet a feeling that points her in a direction. It is just the feeling of a vacuum, a void waiting to be filled.

Why will God's creatures sin against his throne? Can there be such madness in beings gifted with reason's light?

I am a socialist. However, I have to add that what I understand by socialism is exactly the opposite of what many people, or most people, today mean by socialism.

Thin people are beautiful, but fat people are adorable.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

What we still designate as chance, merely depends on a concatenation of circumstances, the internal connection and final causes of which we have as yet been unable to unravel.

When reason rules, money is a blessing.

Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.
