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

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.

I still come out to music that's in Spanish. There's no denying who I am, but I've just made it to where my performance is so anybody can understand it - whether you're 10 years old or 80 years old.

Be personal, and original. Try to work clean. Stay away from topical material, as it does not allow you to craft it to make it better for later. And always remember that it is the fans who will make you or break you.

If you aim to be big, you will be big. And that's not a pun about my size.

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.

When I go to dance clubs, I always dance with big girls, so we finish at the same time.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

You can't be bad ass in a car that kills gas like I kill tacos.

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.

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.

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.'
