Gabriel Iglesias
Life is measured by how you lived it, not by the years.
Gabriel Iglesias
As a comedian, especially one that works as much as I do, there is a lot of sacrifice. People don't see that I'm away from my family 46 weeks out of the year. I miss all the birthdays and anniversaries and holidays.
Gabriel Iglesias
You know, a lot of people think that just 'cause you work out, lift weights, eat right, and do what people tell you to do that you'll live a long live, maybe you will. But, why do people measure life by the years instead about how good the years were.
Gabriel Iglesias

The Ford Flex is a really, really cool car. You get inside and you have so much headroom and it's really comfortable to drive and it's real techy inside. You look at the screen and it's blue and you've got all kinds of controls. Everything is digital.
Gabriel Iglesias
Once I started doing specials I always incorporated Fluffy into it. But with Stand-Up Revolution, I left it out because I want it to be different for people. I'm there, yes, but it's something different.
Gabriel Iglesias
I was very dirty I was a very dirty comic. There was no way I would have gotten on TV with the act I had when I first started.
Gabriel Iglesias
I know what it's like to have a family and not have insurance and really need it. As a comic, insurance was one of those sacrifices I made early on until I could afford it.
Gabriel Iglesias
In the beginning, yes. I didn't like it because I wanted people to know me by Gabriel Iglesias, not by Fluffy.
Gabriel Iglesias
I almost bought a DeLorean the other day just because. If I see something that I think is cool and I like it, I'll go for it.
Gabriel Iglesias
You gotta hang out with people who have big dreams and believe in that dream.
Gabriel Iglesias
I know enough football to know that's funny!
Gabriel Iglesias
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
Finding places to perform was definitely the biggest challenge. Trying to find my voice over the years was a big thing because when I started I was just doing characters and impressions and that was it.
Gabriel Iglesias
I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.
