Whoever Is My Relative, I Will Not

Immigration Is An Issue Of Global Significance In America. And If You Look At The Terrorist Alerts And Attacks, Latinos [as A Group] Are Not In The Top Five List [for] Terror Alerts.

I Think It's Easier For African American And White Comics To Be Praised Than It Is Latinos Because They Think Our Culture Or Our Humor Is Substandard. I Mean, I Just Don't Think They Want To Give Us Credit. I Just Don't Think That They See Us As Important Enough To Be At Their Level. I'm The Longest-produced Comedy At Warner Bros. And I Don't Feel Special. They Come Over And Say Hello. But Everybody's Gonna Make A Lot Of Money And I Don't Feel Like I'm Special To Them.

By The Time I Was 11, I Wanted To Be A Comedian. So All Those Years Later, I've Managed To Achieve My Dream As A Kid, And It Wasn't Easy. I'm On The [hollywood] Walk Of Fame And I'm One Of The 25 Most Influential Hispanics In America, According To Time Magazine. I Think My Duty Is To Go Back And Tell Kids, 'whatever Color You Are, Wherever You Come From, Anything And Everything Is Possible.' And I'm Living Proof.

No Particular Race Is The Enemy. Ignorance Is The Enemy.

My Wife Gave Me A Book Before We Got Married, Oh, The Places You'll Go!, By Dr. Seuss. She Was Trying To Tell Me Something, About What I Was Capable Of, But I Didn't Get It. Over Time, I've Sort Of Lived The Message In That Book, And I Couldn't Have Without What Golf Taught Me. So I Put It In My Bag While I Played The Old Course, And On The Last Hole When I Posed On The Swilcan Bridge, I Held It Up.
