More quotes by Eric Idle

Eric Idle
I didn't want to be big Mr. Ego walking around.

Americans like to think 'Python' is how English people really are. There is an element of truth to that.
Eric Idle
I like doing live things and plays. You can perfect the laugh or extend the laugh, you can get them on a roll. Versus improv, which I hate. Put it all together. They're more vignettes. Improv makes me slightly anxious because I feel for them.
Eric Idle

Eric Idle

Eric Idle
Filming a pirate film is always good fun, with ships and indecent clothing.
Eric Idle
I pay taxes in three countries, but can't vote in any of them.
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
No day of my life passes without someone saying the words 'Monty Python' to me. It's not bad.
Eric Idle
I will jump on anybody's private plane at the drop of a hat. I'm an old-fashioned lower-middle-class boy.
Eric Idle
Even if you've written something for print, I think it's good to try [it] out on someone because it changes. You can think it's hilarious and they can tell you it's not.
