I did a show in New Jersey in the auditorium of a technical high school. . . Technical high school, that's where dreams are narrowed down. We tell our children, "You can do anything you want.

My experience is as a Mexican immigrant, more so than someone like George Lopez. He's from California. But he'll be treated as an immigrant. I am an outsider.
