- Eddie Izzard: (on how his stand-up work informs his acting) The only thing that my training should do, having done stand-up and all this weird comedy beforehand, is that if I can really struggle to get into a role, to learn, develop whatever technique I can to act a role as well as I can, then it should be somewhat different to what everyone else has done, because I've just come such a weird route.

- Eddie Izzard: I mean, sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing. But I have tried to be completely honorable, and get completely inside characters -- or, as much as I can. I just hope that I can bring something different to what I'm doing.
