“I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. I...” — Gabriel Iglesias Quote

I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. It'll probably never happen.

Comedy is my passion. I'm going to do this until I drop.

I wanted to be a comedian, and this is what I'm doing. If I can keep this going, I'm happy.

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.

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.

You've got to wake up every morning and believe, 'I was born to do this.'

It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think, 'Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.'

There are two ways to wake up. You can wake up thinking about what you know, or you wake up thinking and saying 'What can I learn?.' That's a very different approach.

Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.

I wake up very early in the morning. I like to start in the dark, and I never work at night, because my brain is evaporated by 4 P.M.
