More quotes by 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
[Making people laugh] was a secret dream I kept and I didn't tell anybody about it until I was about 18.
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
You can't be bad ass in a car that kills gas like I kill tacos.
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
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
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 was very dirty I was a very dirty comic. There was no way I would have gotten on TV with the act I had when I first started.
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
People see a big dude and they hear that high pitched voice or Eglasias with an 'I' and love it because they can relate and go I know that person!.
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
If you aim to be big, you will be big. And that's not a pun about my size.
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
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
You live by the cake, you die by the cake.
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
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
I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.
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'm a big boy, but I can get jiggy with it. Ladies, I will go to dance clubs, and I will tear it up hardcore for a good 30 seconds.
