More quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
I got on the high school speech team and everyday I would get up in front of the class and just start talking.
Gabriel Iglesias
Understand that you don't know it all. You don't know anything yet. What you've been taught is great, but always go with common sense. And don't marry your first love.
Gabriel Iglesias
I know enough football to know that's funny!
Gabriel Iglesias

If i wouldn't have done comedy, I would have been a teacher. I was really good when I took an exploratory teaching class in high school, at getting kids' attention, and delivering lesson plans. Though my principal even told me that this was what I was meant to do. And that being a big-mouth comedian was a waste of time.

I started riding the whole 'fluffy' train, and it's a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl 'fat,' yo, she'll raise hell, but if you say, 'Aw girl, look at you, you're fluffy,' there's almost a sexy appeal to it.
Gabriel Iglesias
That's one thing about my shows. I tell people, I'm not a comedian, I'm just a really funny reporter. I put my life out there and make it entertaining. By putting it out there, it helps me to deal with it, you know, so I don't snap and so I don't go off the handle when I get home.
Gabriel Iglesias
Make sure you're doing impressions of people that are still relevant, and that everyone knows. Red Skelton impressions are a little outdated.
Gabriel Iglesias
We can choose our family. We can't choose our relatives.
Gabriel Iglesias
You gotta hang out with people who have big dreams and believe in that dream.
Gabriel Iglesias
I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.
Gabriel Iglesias
If you surround yourself with a bunch of guys who no mas se quieren puro pari and are like, Aaah, let's go get some chicks. Guess what? That's going to slow you down and keep your head somewhere else.
Gabriel Iglesias
Drinking can bring out a dude that has some issues.
Gabriel Iglesias
Best advice, bro: Think big. Don't think small. If you think small, then you're going to stay small. Think (about) the broad scope.
Gabriel Iglesias
I don't even have a clue as to where to find a pregnancy test. I'm looking at all the aisles... they don't have one that says 'oops.
Gabriel Iglesias
Surround yourself with supportive people. All the negative people, man you have to push them aside.
Gabriel Iglesias
TV show's really quick. You're in, you're out. A film usually takes a lot longer. However, a voiceover is very much like TV in the sense that it's really quick. For example, I did the movie Planes in one day.
