In the beginning, when I was doing my shows, I was incorporating a lot of Spanish, just trying to be a Latino comic instead of just a comic. Now I try to make the show as broad as possible… I don’t want to alienate people. I want to make it so everybody can follow along and everybody can relate. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
I’m always very happy to talk to people. I relate to people, and the guy on stage is very much the guy that’s off stage. People know when it’s fake. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
I get a lot of influence from pro wrestling. People are like, ‘Oh, it’s fake.’ But it’s not about whether the guy wins or loses, it’s about how he entertains you the whole time you’re watching. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
When you leave, you basically want to go eat, because I talk a lot about food in my act. So when you leave, you leave hungry. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
I don’t have to worry about writing jokes. I just tell stories about things that have happened to me. As long as I’m alive and I’m living and I’m experiencing different things every day, the show will always change. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
As far as guys who perform onstage, I love Chris Rock. I’m kind of jaded on everyone else. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
I started riding the whole ‘fluffy’ train, and it’s a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl ‘fat,’ yo, she’ll raise hell, but if you say, ‘Aw girl, look at you, you’re fluffy,’ there’s almost a sexy appeal to it. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows. It does take some time, but the fans appreciate it which makes it worth it. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
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. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
I found that laughter was a form of acceptance, and I really enjoyed that and I just – I crave it. Gabriel Iglesias Read Quote
