More quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
I see a lot of nice hotels, but I never really get to enjoy the cities, because I have to be on a plane the next day.
Gabriel Iglesias
I have always been told that I was a funny, entertaining person and have always been told to give comedy a try.
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
Originally the big argument was that they wanted to call it raw and uncut and I told them I had a problem with that. When you say raw it implies that my show is dirty and that's not the case.
Gabriel Iglesias
People understand when I talk about my son not listening, or issues at home or his real dad coming back into the picture, or even stories about family members not seeing eye to eye with what you're doing.
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
I know enough football to know that's funny!
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
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 wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.
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 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
When I go to dance clubs, I always dance with big girls, so we finish at the same time.
Gabriel Iglesias
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.
Gabriel Iglesias
Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.
Gabriel Iglesias
Comedy is my passion. I'm going to do this until I drop.
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
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
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
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
