- After winning the Oscar for his role as Tommy DeVito in the movie Buenos muchachos (1990), his entire acceptance speech was "It's my privilege. Thank you." When asked why he didn't say more, he said "I really didn't think I was going to win.".
- According to Maxim magazine, he wrote and directed the "You think I'm funny?" scene from Buenos muchachos (1990) at director Martin Scorsese's request.
- Is known to have a very foul mouth, both on and off screen. On the set of Mi pobre angelito (1990), Chris Columbus placed a Curse Jar for the adult actors to place change in whenever they cursed. Supposedly, Joe Pesci filled this up in a single day.
- Director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro tracked down Joe Pesci after seeing him in The Death Collector (1976) because they felt he was perfect for the role of Joey LaMotta in El toro salvaje (1980). Before they persuaded him to take the role, Joe Pesci had been on the verge of giving up his faltering acting career.
- Chris Columbus cast Joe Pesci in Mi pobre angelito (1990) because he was one of his heroes but he didn't think he would get him for such a broadly comedic role.
- [on his good friend and Mi primo Vinny (1992) co-star, the late Fred Gwynne] It takes somebody who's very serious to pull off a character like Herman Munster [from Gwynne's series La familia Munster (1964)]. It's not simple to play the goof. Fred was not Herman. He was an intelligent, quiet gentleman.
- [on El toro salvaje (1980)] I remember being asked do you think we should shoot in black and white or in color. And I said black and white without any hesitation.
- [on Robert De Niro] We work so well together. It's like breathing in and out. It's so easy for us - we feed off each other.
- [on Martin Scorsese] Marty is probably the best director I've ever worked with and one of the best directors of our generation and previous generations.
