- The name of "King of White Comedy" is because I don't use bad words or a vulgar style in my work.
- [on the reasons why he decided to pursue a career without his friend Marco Antonio Campos] Many things have been speculated; for example, that we split up over money disputes and even over issues concerning women, but that is not true. The only truth is that. . . the couple ended many years ago when [our television program] got low ratings, when nobody was hiring us for theater, or for tent shows, or for television; in the film industry, where we got to earn up to 200 thousand pesos of that time, they stopped calling us . . . I admit that differences arose, because of the same pressure of not having a job; and since he was in charge of [our] contracts, I told him to insist, to hurry up, but the truth is that our phase and moment was over, just like that of other colleagues; like the case of Tin Tan, who after filming so many movies, they didn't call him anymore and when they did he wasn't interested in who he would work with or how much he would earn, but unfortunately in this industry that's how things are.
- [on the separation of Viruta y Capulina] The pair broke up because it didn't have any more strength; we started to plummet. We were nervous because no one wanted to hire us, [and] the program we had got low ratings. At that time Galindo wanted to hire only me to make a film. I didn't do it because Zacarías was the one who made the films of the pair and then he hired me to make my first film, now by myself, which was El zángano (1968), the first of many.
