JOE PESCI  QUOTES


I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown?

Ah, I don’t do interviews, really.

“They’re perfect. Don’t matter if they’re skinny, fat, blond or blue. If a woman is willing to give you her love, Harvard, it’s the greatest gift in the world. Makes you taller, makes you smarter, makes your teeth shine. Boy, oh, boy, women are perfect.”

 

“That car meant a lot to me, Gus. I get memories of that car I can’t even remember.”

You know why you hate me so much, Jeffery? Because I look the way you feel.

Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I’m free the next morning.

You win, you win. You lose, you still win.

“I’m a bum. But I’m a Harvard bum.”

“So, here are my options. Option a: I get my ass kicked, or option b: I kick your ass and collect the 200. I think I’m gonna go with option b: kickin’ your as* and collecting $200.”

 

“Everybody loves to have their picture took. Everybody.”

“This guy could fuck up a cup of coffee.”

A winner forgets he’s in a race, he just loves to run.

I’ve been married three times, but I’ll never forget my first trip as a young man, on my honeymoon, with my new wife.

I couldn’t get any jobs, and when that happens, you get so humble it’s disgusting. I didn’t feel like a man anymore — I felt really creepy. I was bumping into walls and saying, Excuse me.

I dyed my hair blonde in that movie, so my head doesn’t match my grill.

You try too hard. Winners forget they’re in a race. They just love to run.

I’m just some lunatic macaroni mushroom, is that it?

“I love to star in movies, but I want to have good roles.”

I dyed my hair blonde in that movie, so my head doesn’t match my grill.

I would have done something else in life. Something more calming, in a different area where I did not have to use my emotions.

There was a time I couldn’t get a job.

Scorsese and De Niro taught me to bring out the natural side of myself. And they taught me to think of myself as the average guy. Sometimes the average guy belongs in a role more than your matinee idol-type of person. We have to have people we can relate to. Joe Pesci

I’m just some lunatic macaroni mushroom, is that it?

I love to star in movies, but I want to have good roles. It doesn’t help to get starring roles in something that’s no good. I mean, that will just kill you.

There are great actors we’ll never see just because they haven’t had my luck.

My father loved me so much that he did not want me to be a laborer or anything. I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do – push your kids into something and then stay on them until they do it. Let them pick what they want to do.

 

I’m a bore. I save all my energy for my characters.

You don’t say hello to Mr. DeNiro? Show the respect, will ya?

“Who cares about the reward is right. Forget about the reward. Let’s just take the $2 1/2 million in money and jewels. We’re millionaires! Millionaires, Gus! We’re rich!”

“Scorsese and De Niro taught me to bring out the natural side of myself.”

“I’m Leo Getz, and whatever you want, Leo gets.”

Women, aren’t they perfect? It doesn’t matter if they’re fat, skinny, blond, or blue. If a woman is willing to give you her love, Harvard, it’s the greatest gift in the world. Makes you taller, makes you smarter, makes your teeth shine. Boy-oh-boy women are perfect, perfect joy and perfect ache. Joy when you first meet them and get to know them. Ache when you leave them. Joy. Ache. Joy. Ache. Joyachejoyachejoyachejoyache.

Did Mad freakin’ Max just call me irritating? -Joe Pesci

My father loved me so much that he did not want me to be a laborer or anything. I dont know if its the right thing to do – push your kids into something and then stay on them until they do it. Let them pick what they want to do.

“My name is gonna be in the history books. And they better spell my name right! L-I-D-E-O. So simple. Frankie LiDeo! Very easy!”
