More quotes by John Cleese
If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.
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
I wish you wusses would stop whining about your unhappiness. I'm really fed up with it. Pour yourself a scotch and pull yourself together. Go out and shoot something!
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
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
The most creative people have this childlike facility to play.
John Cleese
There's something about watching an animal that puts you in contact with where we came from and what we're still a part of.
John Cleese
I think it takes a long time, as you get older, to realize just how crazy the world is, just how ridiculous it all is.
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 find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese
I want to write a book which is the history of comedy.
John Cleese
I'm always meeting new people, and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.
John Cleese
Comedy always works best when it is mean-spirited.
John Cleese
I was a terrible dancer. I dance like an Englishman.
John Cleese
If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you open to my ideas
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
I could take an umbrella and balance it on my chin or on my foot. And I just got interested in that kind of thing. And as I played games more and more and got stronger physically, I just became more coordinated.
John Cleese
I would like to do my own eulogy, and then shoot myself and then get in the coffin.
John Cleese
Bureaucrats shouldn't be in charge of comedy.
John Cleese
The British fans are liable to suddenly be talking to you about something that you don't know how you got into the conversation. I think it's something to do with the fact that they've been watching you for so many years sort of you telling your story.
John Cleese
