For about three years I was performing at one bar in East Los Angeles that was like a mean dive bar. You're in there performing for drunks or bikers, not the most flattering people. I think it helped build my confidence, because you have to get their attention, then make them laugh.

I see a lot of nice hotels, but I never really get to enjoy the cities, because I have to be on a plane the next day.

I want to be known as a funny comic not just a funny Latino comic. I want to be able to go everywhere and anywhere.

People see a big dude and they hear that high pitched voice or "Eglasias with an 'I'" and love it because they can relate and go "I know that person!".

Being on TV sucks. It's a lot of work. You memorize scripts and then you show up and they change everything. I'm a control freak. When I'm doing stand-up, I say what I want and then I get instant feedback.

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

In the beginning, yes. I didn't like it because I wanted people to know me by Gabriel Iglesias, not by Fluffy.
