More quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
People think if you have money, it'll fix the problems, but it creates different ones.
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
Believe it or not, I've got a really bad metabolism. One burger and I'm done. I'm not a guy that puts away 10 burgers.
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
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
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
I'm a big fan of Kiss. Gene Simmons, he's all into marketing and branding. You name it, there's some type of product with Kiss' name on it. Studying people like that, you see guys have hooks and there are reasons people are successful.
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
Every night, it's a bakery on the bus. It's a curse, because I talk about how much I love cake, people bring me cake. And now I just found out I'm diabetic, so I'm like, are you kidding me?!
Gabriel Iglesias
You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.
Gabriel Iglesias
The first time I got on stage I was 10 years old and I did impressions. I did cartoon characters and I really got the bug for this life when I saw that people were laughing and saw the attention I was getting.
Gabriel Iglesias
I never go perform somewhere alone. I've done that since day one. I've always taken other comics with me.
Gabriel Iglesias
When you're a comedian, the Holy Grail is an hour long HBO special.
Gabriel Iglesias
Stand-up is not just an American thing anymore. It's global. In some places, stand-up comedy is brand new. South Africa has only had a scene for 15 years.
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
[ 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
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
I'm never home. I miss birthdays. I miss holidays. I miss anniversaries. I miss special moments. I'm not always there for important times, because I'm out on the road trying to make people laugh. I give up my privacy. I give up the ability to walk somewhere and relax.
Gabriel Iglesias
Me racist? The only race I hate is the one you have to run.
Gabriel Iglesias
It's because you alienate half the room talking about sports. Half the crowd will be against you no matter what you say.
