Drama is not my passion. If I do it, it's for a check. It's not what I want to do. Comedy's my thing. Stand up's my thing. Everything that comes from that is frosting on the cake.

I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.

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

Why would anybody connect to someone who has everything going for them? It's the person who has faults that people want to connect to. So people identify with certain insecurities on stage and just by me talking about my diabetes people come up to me after the show and tell me "Gabe, my blood sugar is out of control and I feel you". That's the first thing they say, they say "I feel you!".

I don't wanna just be remembered for the funniest guy in my neighborhood.

I'm not fat. I'm fluffy!

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.
