Eddie Izzard's quotes

I can go from blokey to girlie in 15 minutes and then I'm out the door. But that's the fastest I can do it. Becoming a woman takes work.
I definitely have breast envy. When teenage girls were saying 'I wish I had breasts', I was thinking the same thing.
I don't know what it's like in the U.S. but immigrants in the U.K. do the jobs the citizens won't do.
[on the Statue of Liberty]: Funny that France gave that to the United States. What did the U.S. give them in return?
[on Ellis Island's immigration history]: I do find history fascinating, I find people fascinating, and I'm quite good at standing somewhere and taking out all the new stuff and imagining people coming in and I would have been with them.
[on running marathons]: Animals in the wild are lean, and I think we should be too.

Drama is a complete meal, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates. It's a slow burn thing. It's got an arc. Comedy is more like coke.
My God, what have you been smoking? You haven't been smoking in a bar in California, that's for sure! [laughter] Because you can't! Yes, no smoking in bars now, and soon no drinking and no talking!
Some people are homophobic. But as long as they're homophobic in their own homes, behind closed doors, and don't hurt anyone...
If a girl falls over in heels it's embarrassing, but if a guy falls over in heels, well, you have to kill yourself!
The EU is the cutting edge of politics, just in the most tremendously boring way.
The Aryan Supremacists have their thing about getting chemical weapons and killing people. "Why, though? What's the plan? What does that achieve?" "Er, nothing, really..."
[To Nigel Farage] Nigel, you told your followers to bully people to vote for you. This is not the right attitude for people to have.
Hitler was a Mass-Murdering Fuckhead, as many important Historians have said...
When I was about ten my Mum got sick, and when you get sick, you're supposed to get better...
