"I'm making human contact. People in my profession sometimes have to call upon all the different forms of communication to make connections. Comics feel very comfortable when they make people laugh. Dramatists feel very comfortable when they make people cry. Dancers like to wow people with their dancing ability and singers hypnotize people with song. These are all different ways of touching people's hearts. There's not just one way."

Jade Esteban Estrada on activism:

 

"I'm not about gay rights. I'm about human rights. It was never about Jews or African-Americans or Chicanos. It was about people being slaughtered and discriminated against."
