More quotes by 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
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'm a big guy, but I'm really simple with the food. I'll hit the In-N-Out or just the regular buffets.
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
My girlfriend knows that if I'm acting weird at home to go to one of my shows to see what's on my mind.
Gabriel Iglesias
My material never comes out verbatim every time. I always tweak in a line, or tweak away a line, gain a couple tags or lose a couple tags. The timing is always off.
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've already produced one hour specials for other comedians and I have a TV show called Stand Up Revolution where I showcase new talent and so I'd like to continue to do stuff like that and help out the next guy.
Gabriel Iglesias
At the time, it was a really funny joke [Fluffy] and I went back and forth with going against the joke or embrace it. I decided to embrace it and now we're talking about it, so it was a good call.
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
I'm always very happy to talk to people. I relate to people, and the guy on stage is very much the guy that's off stage. People know when it's fake.
Gabriel Iglesias
If you aim to be big, you will be big. And that's not a pun about my size.
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
Be personal, and original. Try to work clean. Stay away from topical material, as it does not allow you to craft it to make it better for later. And always remember that it is the fans who will make you or break you.
Gabriel Iglesias
The only way I will do a sitcom is if it's hurled at me, and I don't have to work for it.
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
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.
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
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
I like to tell old jokes on stage after about an hour, or an hour and a half. I'll bring those old ones back because the fans love them.
Gabriel Iglesias
