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

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.

There are certain bits in my act that will never change.

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.

Now I understand why people do drugs, why people drink, and why people go crazy. As the success level goes up and up and up, the further detached I get from everybody else. Luckily, with my girlfriend, everything is gravy because I brought her into it. I brought her in and she's very hands on with my career.

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.
