If Laughter Is The Best Medicine, I

My Grandmother Instilled In Me A Toughness That Comes With Survival. She Was A Tough Lady And Never Truly Enjoyed Her Life. She Would Always Worry About Things And I Would Tell Her That It Wasn't Going To Get Her Anywhere And It Didn't. I Wasn't Even That Smart Back Then, But I Knew That Worrying About Everyone Else Wasn't Good For Her Health. As Latinos, We Stress And Worry So Much About The Future When The Future Is Today. As Long As We Protect What's Good In Our Lives, We Will Be All Right.

Laughter Survives... It Has To Survive.

[there's] A Joke That I've Done Forever: 'nowadays They Say That The Largest Majority Of People Will Be Latino And You'll Tell Scary Stories To Your Grandkids: "a Long Time Ago When I Was Growing Up, There Used To Be People Who Were White," And The Kid Says, "really?" And You Say, "yeah, Like The Man Who Cuts Our Grass."' I've Had That Line Forever And I Love It.

Whoever Is My Relative, I Will Not Be Nice To Them.
