Don't want to turn into mini-me.
Eric Idle
I used to have a house in London, but couldn't face 20 more years of St John's Wood in the rain.
Eric Idle
A lot has been said about politics some of it complimentary, but most of it accurate
Eric Idle
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.
Eric Idle
They're a typical Hollywood audience. All the kids are on drugs and all the adults are on roller skates.
Eric Idle
I don't necessarily know much about comedy, I don't spend a lot of time watching it. Mainly because all my life for about 50 years I've had comedy.
Eric Idle
I live in a Spanish-style hillside home in Los Angeles, California. I paid $900,000 in 1995. It's perhaps worth about $3m now. Thankfully, I paid off my mortgage before the crash because I could see it coming. I worried that I would be caught having to pay off a very high mortgage for a house I couldn't sell.
Eric Idle
The Minister of Transport issued this appeal to motorists: Can anyone give him a lift to Leicester?
Eric Idle
No day of my life passes without someone saying the words 'Monty Python' to me. It's not bad.
Eric Idle
Nobody gets irony anymore, as we are now living in the post-ironic age. Once George Bush gets a library, our irony is dead.
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
I believe in the separation of church and planet.
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
At Cambridge, you have to kiss the vice-chancellor's fingers. But I missed out on that, 'cause I was doing a matinee. I don't want to kiss a strange man's fingers anyway.
Eric Idle
If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.
Eric Idle
Filming a pirate film is always good fun, with ships and indecent clothing.
Eric Idle
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.
Eric Idle
Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is beware. This is not a wine for drinking this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.
Eric Idle
Americans like to think 'Python' is how English people really are. There is an element of truth to that.
Eric Idle
I got used to dealing with groups of boys and getting on with life in unpleasant circumstances and being smart and funny and subversive at the expense of authority.
