Eddie Izzard

Edward John "Eddie" Izzard (/ˈɪzɑːrd/; born 7 February 1962) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. His comedic style takes the form of rambling, whimsical monologue, and self-referential pantomime. He had a starring role in the television series The Riches as Wayne Malloy and has appeared in films such as Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen, Mystery Men, Shadow of the Vampire, The Cat's Meow, Across the Universe, and Valkyrie. He has also worked as a voice actor in The Wild (2006), Igor (2008), The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008), and Cars 2 (2011).

Izzard has cited his main comedy role model as Monty Python, and John Cleese once referred to him as the "Lost Python". In 2009, he completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief despite having no prior history of long-distance running. He has won numerous awards including a Primetime Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for his comedy special Dress to Kill, in 2000. Izzard's website won the Yahoo People's Choice Award and earned the Webby Award.

Famous quotes by Eddie Izzard:

"If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid."

"But with dogs, we do have “bad dog.” Bad dog exists. “Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!” The dog is saying, “Who are you to judge me? You human beings who’ve had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!"

"I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from."

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and monkeys do too (if they have a gun)."

"But then the Roman Empire fell like this- "oh shit". And we went into"

"I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less."

"I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup."

"Puberty is the sickest joke God plays on us. So you're just noticing members of the sex: "Girls girls, ooo". Naturally you want to look your best, and God says "No! You will look the worst you've ever looked in your life!""

"â€˜Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Anyone could answer that."

"And the National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do,” but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, "Bang!" That's not going to kill too many people, is it? You'd have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that…"

Idéia Certa

E se falando em grana brother
Você diz não ser nada
Mas trocando essa idéia contigo
Eu vejo que você tá numa errada
Apesar da força de vontade
E do amor em se peito
O sistema suga o sangue da galera
E ainda não te deixa agir direito
Mas eu tenho um conselho
Que talvez irá lhe ajudar
Pense apenas no futuro do seu filho
E veja o bem que isso irá proporcionar
A vida é bem mais bela amigo
E foi feita pra viver
Portanto viva a sua
E deixe os outros viverem
A gente tem que se unir
Ao invés que querermos
Matar uns aos outros
Que a gente vai conseguindo
O nosso objetivo pouco a pouco
Que é viver num Brasil
Sem ter a nóia
De deixar sair nossos filhos
E vá pra ponte que partiu
Os que não querem ver
O país nos trilhos
