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
By watching the great, old comedians I picked up a few tricks about how to do physical comedy. And whenever I could learn something, I sort of added that to my repertoire.
John Cleese
I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese
The thrill I got discovering Buster Keaton when I was growing up was so exciting. He was one of the greats.
John Cleese
The most creative people have this childlike facility to play.
John Cleese
The Americans all love 'The Holy Grail', and the English all love 'Life Of Brian', and I'm afraid on this one, I side with the English.
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 think there are so many activities going on, like mountaineering. You know, you would pay good money not to have to do that, and yet there are people racing out who want to spend their spare time clambering up rocks.
John Cleese
Bureaucrats shouldn't be in charge of comedy.
John Cleese
I'm very odd 'cause I think there's more than just a materialist planet, a materialist, reductionist planet.
John Cleese
Don't let anyone tell you what you ought to like... Some wines that some experts think are absolutely exquisite don't appeal to me at all.
John Cleese
Your Mother was A Hamster and you Father Smelled of elder berries.
John Cleese
I think the problem with people like this is that they are so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are.
John Cleese
My hovercraft is full of eels.
John Cleese
Oh, I could spend my life having this conversation - look - please try to understand before one of us dies
John Cleese
The World is insane. With tiny spots of sanity, here and there... Not the other way around!
John Cleese
Everything in comedy's got to be exactly right, which is why making a comedic film is kind of a difficult process, because, for most of the two years of shooting it and editing it and reshooting and all of that, it's not quite right. And it's only when you just at the end, you put the final polish on it, it becomes really funny again.
John Cleese
My mum died about three years ago at the age of 101, and just towards the end, as she began to run out of energy, she did actually stop trying to tell me what to do most of the time.
John Cleese
When you've been doing comedy for forty years, you really do know most of the jokes. And even if you don't know a specific joke, you can pretty much guess what it's going to be.
John Cleese
I was a terrible dancer. I dance like an Englishman.
