When I was born, I was given to my uncle and aunt to raise as their kid because they couldn't have kids.
My birth name is Ned Mencia.
I don't want to go on stage with anger. And that's why I worked so hard to look within and change myself and evolve.
It's not hard to lose weight.
I can't imagine how unbelievable it would be to go to the Great Barrier Reef.
I don't do anything out of negativity anymore.
People that love me, love me. But the people that hate me really hate me.
I am an extremist.
One of the better moments in life is when you get your own car.
Here's what I know about the business I am in. It's all based on money. It's all based on ratings.
Guys like Rogan literally want to ruin my career. That's unbelievably cruel and hurtful, and I never want to be that guy.
I always knew I was going to lose weight.
I am frail like everyone else, and I take that into account when I talk about things.
I never want to forget that my job is to make people laugh.
I have 11 sisters and 6 brothers.
I choose to live in a positive world and a positive presence.
I am a product... I'm a comedian. I'm not curing cancer. In the end, I tell jokes. I make people laugh.
If you ain't laughing, you ain't living, baby.
Some people want to live in a world much prettier than the one I depict. But it exists, and I talk about it because it exists.
For me, it's always better to tell people the truth, because people can accept the truth.
I've dated many women at the same time. But I told them. I didn't keep any secrets from them.
I know I'm funny.
I hate being judged.
Just because my name is Carlos Mencia, don't think my show is going to be about the difference between Mexicans and white people.
I grew up poor. The fact that I had to struggle to succeed, that wasn't a big deal to me. I'd struggled my whole life.
I'm afraid of being poor; I'm afraid of living in the projects... I'm afraid of being thought as unsuccessful.
I grew up Mexican.
Chicago is pretty much my favorite city to perform in. For some reason, people from the Chicago area have an amazing attitude.
When I'm performing for 4,000, 5,000 people, it's a show. It's a rock n' roll concert.
On stage, I'm really, really tall. I'm five-foot-9, but on stage, I'm, like, six-foot-5.
