More quotes by John Cleese

As Daniel Levitin writes, our brain is a giant pattern detector. If we read something that coincides with what we already believe we're more likely to give it credence, while the opposite is not true.
John Cleese
years ago we would have been burned for this. Now what I am suggesting is that we've advanced.
John Cleese
My views are heretical to people who believe in political correctness.
John Cleese

The Americans are just more enthusiastic and more likely to engage in hyperbole.
John Cleese
There's nothing good on the television let's burn a witch. It must have been terribly exciting to live in those times.
John Cleese
I'm not sure what's going on in Britain. I don't know what's going on in London. Because London is no longer an English city, and that's how they got the Olympics. I mean, they said, We're the most cosmopolitan city on Earth, but it doesn't feel English.
John Cleese
It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.
John Cleese
If you really don't know where to start or if you're stuck, start generating random connections and allow your intuition to tell you if one might lead somewhere interesting.
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
My hovercraft is full of eels.
John Cleese
Filming is like a long air journey: there's so much hanging around and boredom that they keep giving you food.
John Cleese
A satisfied customer. We should have him stuffed.
John Cleese
Creativity is not an ability that you either have or do not have. It is, for example, and this may surprise you, absolutely unrelated to IQ, provided you're intelligent above a certain minimal level.
