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.

We don't have enough Latinos on TV just getting cast in supporting roles; the idea of having your own show named after you seemed like such a long shot.

We grew up devout Catholics, so my trips to San Juan always include going to the churches that we used to go to and lighting candles and everything. Everything I do in San Juan is what I used to do with my mom, kind of as a tribute to her.

I did the 'Wizard of Oz' in third grade, and I was a witch.

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.

My favorite movie is 'Die Hard.' It doesn't have pinatas and mariachis. It's just a good movie.
