John Cleese
We all die at the end, but does that nullify everything? Would most people rather say, I wish I hadn't been born? Once you're born you'll have to die, now is that funny or sad?
John Cleese
Muslims, who have a completely different value system, come to the West, then they should accept that there are certain basic values in the West intrinsic to our culture. Just as I wouldn't suggest that any Westerner walk down the streets of Saudi Arabia in a bikini.

The thrill I got discovering Buster Keaton when I was growing up was so exciting. He was one of the greats.
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
Sense of humor is so much more subjective than anyone believes.
John Cleese
When you're being stalked by an angry mob with raspberries, the first thing to do is to release a tiger.
