Quote

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?!

Life is measured by how you lived it, not by the years.

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.

Early on when I started talking about my weight, it was self-deprecating everything was a joke.

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.

You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.

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.

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.

I have always been told that I was a funny, entertaining person and have always been told to give comedy a try.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
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.

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.

Surround yourself with supportive people. All the negative people, man you have to push them aside.

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.

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.

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.

If I speak Spanish in my show, which sometimes I do, I translate what I say. I make it where I can still be myself, but I make it to where everybody knows what the hell is going on and when everyone leaves, they're like OK, I get it.

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.
