Gabriel Iglesias Quotations

I'm a comedian who happens to be Latino. What's the difference? The difference is, my special will air on Comedy Central, not Telemundo.

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.

Make sure you're doing impressions of people that are still relevant, and that everyone knows. Red Skelton impressions are a little outdated.

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.

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.

Drinking can bring out a dude that has some issues.

If you Google the word "fluffy," I'm the first thing that pops up. It's me, dogs and rabbits.

People think if you have money, it'll fix the problems, but it creates different ones.

As long as you have a director, that's your feedback. It's the director telling you, "Okay. That was great! Okay. Can we add a little? Can you tweak it like this? Can you make it more high pitched? Can you give it a little growl?"

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.
