More quotes by Michael Palin
I remember queuing around the block in Sheffield when I was growing up. At that time, going to the cinema was really something special - there was something about the style of the real thing that is immeasurable nicer than multiplexes.
Michael Palin
The Buddhist version of poverty is a situation where you have nothing to contribute.
Michael Palin
I am certainly more interested in interviewing than being interviewed. Sometimes you find yourself attacked from the start.
Michael Palin
There are people who travel because they want to push themselves to physical limits, people who walk across deserts or cycle across the Antarctic - like Ranulph Fiennes, who just does it because it's there. And then there are people like me, who are just genuinely curious about the world.
Michael Palin
I can be me, and people seem quite happy with that.
Michael Palin
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
Michael Palin
I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
Michael Palin
I'd got over playing a character. People accepted who I was, and if I was incompetent and useless, they felt quite endeared to me.
Michael Palin
I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.
Michael Palin
I got my first lifetime achievement award years ago, and I was very excited, but then I got a sense of: Well, can one get a second lifetime award?
Michael Palin
My parents have been married forty-two years. I wonder how many of those were happy.
Michael Palin
Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life
Michael Palin
I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd far rather see for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking.
Michael Palin
Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future
Michael Palin
In the absence of fear there is little faith.
Michael Palin
There is nothing better than playing a scene with John Cleese or Maggie Smith. It's electric. But I don't think I'm the sort of person who needs to have an outer ego in order to produce something. I realised that through the travel programmes.
Michael Palin
When I'm travelling, I always take my little notebook and scribble things down as I watch them I'm very much geared to everything that's happening. Whereas, the diary I keep is just about a record of a day I've spent. When I'm filming, I'm looking quite intensely at everything I see and trying to get my own eye on what we're going through.
Michael Palin
Armageddon is not around the corner. This is only what the people of violence want us to believe. The complexity and diversity of the world is the hope for the future.
Michael Palin
Please don't ask which I enjoy more - acting or hosting - because I love them equally.
Michael Palin
I've never particularly liked travelling with large groups or being told where to go by somebody else. I prefer to find out for myself.
Michael Palin
