“'First Gen' is kind of the ode to my parents and to really all immigrant children who come here with kind of a preemptive expectation placed on them, and then they get there, and they realize the American dream is bigger than, sometimes, what our parents dreamt.”

“I don't know who I'll end up with, but whoever he is must have a strong religious commitment, must be someone who loves God.”

“I want to own a comedy club.”

“They talk about the American Dream. I still believe in that. I still believe that this is a great country, where great things can happen, where anybody can become president of the United States. Just that simple statement there defines so much about the whole business of liberty and freedom and the pursuit of happiness.”

“People talk about how great this country is - and it's a great country - but I feel that many young people don't believe they have access to the American dream.”
