Eric Idle
The Minister of Transport issued this appeal to motorists: Can anyone give him a lift to Leicester?
Eric Idle
I never think in terms of target audience. I try to write what makes me laugh, so I'm the target audience. I guess I just hope there's another person in America like me.
Eric Idle
Americans like to think 'Python' is how English people really are. There is an element of truth to that.
Eric Idle
I think you often learn from failure. Success just teaches you how great you were, but in fact it's knowing what will fail that will help you to make the right choices.
