- [1990] I am the greatest comedian of all the comedians in Mexico... in age.
- The first film I made was Monte de piedad (1951) and it was with Vejar, may he rest in peace. Initially, I didn't want to make movies if it wasn't a starring role, because they would offer me only supporting or bit roles.
- Many years passed before I achieved fame. I even changed my nickname several times. Although I was already known as "Chumiate", Resortes named me "Clavos", then "Clavito", then "Clavillos", then "Clavillo", which lasted me a long time until I became "Clavillazo", which stayed with me for life.
