I do pool exercises, like weightlifting but underwater. I walk, I swim... I'm pretty fit for an old bloke.
From Eric Idle
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
A website can be very time-intensive, but I'd love to have one where people can contribute to it - like invent islands and make their own flags, and their own laws. I think that'd be kind of fun.
I love my family, my wife, my kids, my dogs, my home, my life. I am a very happy and contented man.
Talent is always more interesting - ambition is not interesting. If you have talent, you have to find ways of expressing it, but you may not be a success in the world's terms.
John Cleese once told me he'd do anything for money. So I offered him a pound to shut up, and he took it.
I listen to the audience and try and bounce with them. All audiences are different. But they are all homo sapiens.
I love being an older comic now. It's like being an old soccer or an old baseball player. You're in the Hall of Fame and it's nice, but you're no longer that person in the limelight on the spot doing that thing.
You initially become funny as a kid because you're looking for attention and love. Psychologists think that's all to do with mother abandonment. I think John Cleese has his depressions, and Terry Gilliam's the same. All of us together make one completely insane person.
Life is a comedy when watching and a tragedy when experiencing. I try and share anything I have.
