“I think comedy is a place where we can work on connecting more as people. That's what I really like about doing stand-up, especially vulnerable emotional bits, where I talk about my insecurities or what makes me sad. I feel like that helps. I feel like on that level, it's nice to connect with people.”

“There's one day you're feeling good and the next you're like, boom, I'm a mess today.”

“I talk about how I'm a people-pleaser and I'm really jolly, but there's a side of me that comes out late at night like a wolf.”

“I want to make my own show happen.”

“I have a good voice.”

“I try not to buy leather items or anything tested on animals.”

“I'm just a silly, sunshine girl with voices.”

“Being on 'SNL' has shaped me in many ways.”

“I realized I could do singing impressions when I was 12 years old, first being Britney Spears.”

“I'm not a mean comic. It doesn't work for me.”

“You know, 'Rocket Man' comes on the radio, I'm going to sing it like Elton. I won't sing it in my voice.”

“My J. Lo impression is very specific. It is kind of the J. Lo that's very serious.”

“I love J. Lo. I mean, truly a legend.”

“In high school, I was watching so much 'SNL,' learning the impressions that Dana Carvey and Jimmy Fallon did, mimicking Chris Farley around towns.”

“I hope to star in a biopic of some musician, so I could do their impression and get into their minds and also do their singing impression.”

“I think comedy is where I feel very silly, confident, and really can't expose too much of my sensitive side.”

“I think I'm an introvert.”

“I have a lot of time on my own, and I'm very grateful I have that time to just create.”

“I hope we inspire people to laugh at things more, laugh in their own lives.”

“I have some stand-up bits that are about my family and my abuelita, but most of my stand-up isn't Latino-based.”
