It's a plastic surgeon you need, not a doctor
John Cleese
If you wish to kill yourself but lack the courage to, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick.
John Cleese
England is a fairly envious little country and it's embodied in the press. They don't like anyone being more distinguished than they are.
John Cleese
It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.
John Cleese
I have a tendency sometimes to get too logical with what I'm writing, just because I want it to be kind of perfect.
John Cleese
I would like to do my own eulogy, and then shoot myself and then get in the coffin.
John Cleese
I tend to have an odd split in my mind: I tend to look at it as a writer and when the writing thing is OK and I'm happy with it, then I put on my actor's hat.
John Cleese

But the moment the action is over, try to return to the 'open' mode... because in that mode we are the most aware, most receptive, most creative, and therefore at our most intelligent.
John Cleese
The sad thing about true stupidity is that you can do absolutely nothing about it.
John Cleese
Comedy always works best when it is mean-spirited.
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
This is the extraordinary thing about creativity: If just you keep your mind resting against the subject in a friendly but persistent way, sooner or later you will get a reward from your unconscious.
John Cleese
I think that money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force.
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
Either people walk round dressed as chickens or they listen to Beethoven.
John Cleese
When I was in school, I was beaten every 30 minutes. It never did me any harm except for some psychological mal-adjustments and blurred vision.
John Cleese
The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.
