I felt that to do this drug, I had to become someone totally different than I was. I had to compromise my integrity, my value system. I knew it was so wrong.

When I did these psychological characters like the drug addicts, the ones who were rejected and dejected, I started to feel a sort of melancholia which was very unnatural for me to have at a teenage. Then I avoided those characters.

I have been a victim of stereotypes. I come from Latin America and to some countries, we are considered 'losers,' drug traffickers, and that is not fair because that is generalizing.

I find drug use disrespectful, self-destructive, and weak. I want no part of it.

There were certain people who were out to get me. I know who those people were. They exist, believe me. They know that I know. They spent millions of dollars in order to try to get rid of me. I'm happy they lost most of their money.

Every other day there's something - I'm dealing drugs, I'm starving people. I have never done a drug in my life.

As a cop, I dealt with every kind of bum and criminal. They all have more integrity than some Hollywood people.

They want to portray me as crazy, unhinged, unbalanced. OK, good, fine.

When they put me in jail, that's when they turned me into an activist. Up until the time I went to jail, I was just a comedian.
