- Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks and Andy Garcia were very influential to me growing up. I've always been drawn to comedy. Seeing Andy Garcia, a fellow Cuban, make a career out of acting made me believe it would be possible for me to do the same.
- I had an active imagination as a kid. In one of my imaginations, a beautiful woman was rescuing me in the forest. I was always searching for love even though I always had it around with my parents and family and friends.
- Mr. Buchanan, my high school acting teacher, showed me how fun and rewarding acting can be. I remember during a performance of Grease, after we performed Greased Lightning, an audience member yelled out my name and I reacted by putting my hand up and acknowledging the crowd member. When I entered the wing Mr. B confronted me and told me never to break character and the fourth wall! I'll never forget that moment.
