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.

More quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
You can't be bad ass in a car that kills gas like I kill tacos.
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
In the beginning, yes. I didn't like it because I wanted people to know me by Gabriel Iglesias, not by Fluffy.
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
If you aim to be big, you will be big. And that's not a pun about my size.
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
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
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
Best advice, bro: Think big. Don't think small. If you think small, then you're going to stay small. Think (about) the broad scope.
Gabriel Iglesias
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt, you don't ever come across as offensive. Nobody sees you as a threat. You see someone in a Hawaiian shirt, and you are like 'this guy is ready to party.'
Gabriel Iglesias
Finding places to perform was definitely the biggest challenge. Trying to find my voice over the years was a big thing because when I started I was just doing characters and impressions and that was it.
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 talked about the stuff so openly that people are able to connect and relate. I put everything out there [into the network], and if I'm having a bad time, people know about it.
Gabriel Iglesias
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.
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 got off the plane - I was walking and cooking at the same time.
Gabriel Iglesias
Jeff Foxworthy had that whole You might be a redneck thing Larry the Cable Guy had Git-R-Done. Some comics have that hook. Dane Cook had that super finger. So I just caught on early on. I ran with Fluffy.
Gabriel Iglesias
I drink diet coke so I can eat regular cake.
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
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.
