The first actor to receive $1,000,000 for his first film.

The first (and so far only) actor to receive a BAFTA nomination for a voice-over performance - Best Supporting Actor for Shrek (2001).

He doesn't drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and the only drug he takes is caffeine.

Is the only cast member of Saturday Night Live (1975) to host while still a cast member. Nick Nolte was to host but fell ill and Eddie replaced him.

He was offered the lead role in Uma Cilada para Roger Rabbit (1988) that went to Bob Hoskins, but turned it down. He deeply regrets this decision.

[in 1985] I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way [Charles Chaplin] did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.

Every bad decision I've made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don't turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it's all going to end. I made [Um Tira da Pesada III (1994)] because they offered me $15 million. That $15 million was worth having Roger Ebert's thumb up my ass.

I started out as an impressionist and that's all about observing - how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.

[on why he accepted a part in A Melhor Defesa é o Ataque (1984)] The door opened and four guys came in carrying a check.

That's my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you'd see pictures all over of Elvis. He's just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it's because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the fucking room. I don't give a fuck who was in the room with him---[Humphrey Bogart], Marilyn Monroe.
