More quotes by John Cleese
Laughter destroys any divisions between people.
John Cleese
I think we're all born with a sense of humor. Creativity is another thing though.
John Cleese
Some actors, I think, want to feel that they are as creative as the writer. And the answer is, frankly, they're not.
John Cleese
Because, as we all know, it’s easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent, like thinking. And it’s also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we’re not so sure about.
John Cleese
I can never do better than 'Fawlty Towers,' whatever I do. Now I very much want to teach young talent some rules of the game.
John Cleese
It's a plastic surgeon you need, not a doctor
John Cleese
I have several times made a poor choice by avoiding a necessary confrontation.
John Cleese
Laughter is the best creative medicine.
John Cleese
We need to be in the open mode when we are pondering a problem, but, once we come up with a solution, we must then switch to the closed mode to implement it.
John Cleese
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
John Cleese
I get bored easily. I've been bored most of my life.
John Cleese
I'm very odd 'cause I think there's more than just a materialist planet, a materialist, reductionist planet.
John Cleese
Students who laugh more- learn more. Students who laugh more earn more.
John Cleese
Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.
John Cleese
When you're being stalked by an angry mob with raspberries, the first thing to do is to release a tiger.
John Cleese
Although I had good hand-eye coordination, I was so tall and skinny and muscularly weak that I just was not well coordinated. But what I started to do quite early on was watch some of the great old silent comedians, like Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin, and then later on Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton.
John Cleese
The Americans are so much more positive. They are much more in love with success. In Britain, they're a fairly envious bunch, and they love it if you fail.
John Cleese
I'm struck by how laughter connects you with people. It's almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you're just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy.
John Cleese
The sad thing about true stupidity is that you can do absolutely nothing about it.
John Cleese
Filming takes a lot out of you. It really does. It's immensely demanding, and you have to put the rest of your life in the icebox until you do your final shot.
John Cleese
