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.

More quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
It's not an overnight thing. I can legitimately say I've been working my ass off for a long time and the fact that I'm getting this concert movie is perfect because it's coming at just the right time in my life.
Gabriel Iglesias
Early on when I started talking about my weight, it was self-deprecating everything was a joke.
Gabriel Iglesias
I think the furthest I ever got was Guitar Hero. If I could start a band like that, I think I could do it.
Gabriel Iglesias
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.
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
With all the classes they offer at school, how come they don't have one for common sense?
Gabriel Iglesias
I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.
Gabriel Iglesias
I drink diet coke so I can eat regular cake.
Gabriel Iglesias
For about three years I was performing at one bar in East Los Angeles that was like a mean dive bar. You're in there performing for drunks or bikers, not the most flattering people. I think it helped build my confidence, because you have to get their attention, then make them laugh.
Gabriel Iglesias
When you're a comedian, the Holy Grail is an hour long HBO special.
Gabriel Iglesias
Me racist? The only race I hate is the one you have to run.
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
Well, like I said, there's no reason everyone can't have a piece of the pie, even if there's a gordo there eating most of it.
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
Honestly, I really don't like acting. I don't enjoy it. What I do like is going to a movie theatre and seeing my face on a poster. I like seeing my name on a poster. That is cool.
Gabriel Iglesias
You can't be bad ass in a car that kills gas like I kill tacos.
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
I got off the plane - I was walking and cooking at the same time.
Gabriel Iglesias
[ The aim to be big] is not a joke about my size. It's just that I'm a dreamer, but I'm following through with it. I believe anyone can do it as long as they focus and have a game plan.
Gabriel Iglesias
By putting myself out there the way I've been doing people see me as a real person. Even though I do character voices and funny noises the stories are still real and I put them all out there.
