Quote

By putting myself out there the way I've been doing people see me as a real person. Even though I do character voices and funny noises the stories are still real and I put them all out there.

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.

I have no talent when it comes to pianos or guitars or any of that, even karaoke. For karaoke, I have to be wasted to get up there and sing.

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.

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.

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.

You know what I learned about Hawaiians? They're just blown up Mexicans!

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.

Some comics don't like it when people talk during the set, and it does get a little bit annoying after awhile, but I basically let people dictate what jokes I'm going to do.

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.

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.

Well, like I said, there's no reason everyone can't have a piece of the pie, even if there's a gordo there eating most of it.

I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.

Home in bed listening to the rain getting ready to order a pizza. Sounds like a song til the last part.

I think the furthest I ever got was Guitar Hero. If I could start a band like that, I think I could do it.

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.

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
Image
In the beginning, yes. I didn't like it because I wanted people to know me by Gabriel Iglesias, not by Fluffy.

I never go perform somewhere alone. I've done that since day one. I've always taken other comics with me.

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.

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.'
