We never have that thought! The whole object is to bite off more than you can chew. John [Du Prez] always says, Eric thinks of something completely insane and insists we go in that direction. It's the correct way to look at things and the correct place to start, I think.
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
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
They're a typical Hollywood audience. All the kids are on drugs and all the adults are on roller skates.
