The most fruitful years of my career and my life were the ones that I spent with my companion [Capulina].
[on producing his own films] Capulina had to do his films with his money; I was offered the same but I did not want to play that game. Risk the tranquility of my old age, the security of my wife and my mother? No.
[on the separation of Viruta y Capulina] Did it hurt me? Yes, but when things can no longer happen, you cannot force them.
[on his post-Viruta y Capulina career] Those are the years that I have enjoyed most intensely and passionately.
[when asked if he envied Capulina] No, I felt very proud of my role . . . In every story that I would write, I intended to demonstrate that Capulina was not a little clown, but a comic actor.
[when asked if he ever felt like Capulina's sidekick] No, I never felt that way. The one who made me feel that way was Capulina, but I was not because the sidekick does not share top billing or 50% percent of the salary and much less manages the business.
