Quote

I just know you can not be on top forever. There's always going to be the next guy, and if I'm going to go down, I'd like to know I helped the next guy take my spot. You can't prevent the inevitable, but you can join the ship.

It's because you alienate half the room talking about sports. Half the crowd will be against you no matter what you say.

I have always been told that I was a funny, entertaining person and have always been told to give comedy a try.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
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.

Drama is not my passion. If I do it, it's for a check. It's not what I want to do. Comedy's my thing. Stand up's my thing. Everything that comes from that is frosting on the cake.

Being on TV sucks. It's a lot of work. You memorize scripts and then you show up and they change everything. I'm a control freak. When I'm doing stand-up, I say what I want and then I get instant feedback.

A lot of the comedians nowadays just do comedy as a stepping stone. Take for example Dane Cook. The guy is huge. The main reason he got into it is to do what he is doing now: film and television work.

Image
I try not to get political, I don't want to get religious, I don't want to get controversial, I just want to have a show that relates to everybody.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
Sometimes [high school speech team] was funny, other times it was just talking, but it gave me the confidence to speak in front of people after doing that for a whole year.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
TV and film for me are not as exciting as the live stand-up show and getting the immediate reaction of the crowd. TV is a lot of hurry up and wait for your shot and less immediate reaction from people.

As far as uncut I think we all know that you guys cut up the special. Originally it was going to be 2 hours plus and it got chopped down so I said we can't use those words because it's not going to represent me right.

I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.

Me racist? The only race I hate is the one you have to run.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
There's nowhere in the country that I can't go or won't go. I think it's because I've worked on making my show where everyone can understand it, everyone can relate to it, and no one feels like I'm alienating them.

My favorite people to have fun with are police officers 'cause they're so serious, you know.

Early on when I started talking about my weight, it was self-deprecating everything was a joke.
