I Try Not To Get Political, I

Early On When I Started Talking About My Weight, It Was Self-deprecating; Everything Was A Joke.

I Got A Brother Who Calls Me Hollywood. Sisters Kind Of Keep Their Distance. Even My Mom Is Kind Of Like Ahhh With Me. Yeah Dude, It Really Sucks. And I Wish Things Were Different. Unfortunately, They Don't Understand Everything I Go Through On A Day To Day Basis To Be Able To Maintain What I'm Doing.

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!".

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.

Tv And Film For Me Are Not As Exciting As The Live Stand-up Show And Getting The Immediate Reaction Of The Crowd. Tv Is A Lot Of Hurry Up And Wait For Your Shot And Less Immediate Reaction From People.
