I'm always optimistic and grateful for every opportunity I get.

My mom came to America when I was six years old, and I didn't live with them until I was ten. They worked really hard in factories, and my dad as a taxi driver, to be able to afford visas for my sister and I.

Being an immigrant gives you so much courage.
I'm an entertainer, not a politician.
