Michael Palin
You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.

People look for patterns in everything. It's what keeps us sane, I suppose. I struggle to see any patterns in my life. I think I can understand depression a bit because of my sister. My own feelings of ... I'm aware that, if you feel down, it can be strangely unrelated to circumstances around you. That's just the way life is.

I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.

John Hall, my geography teacher at school inspired me to a lifelong interest in geography and a curiosity about our world which has stayed with me through my life. Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me geography is a great adventure with a purpose.

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.

I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.
Michael Palin
It's not an easy option. The essence of travel is letting go of habit and prejudice and relishing the unfamiliar. Food you've never eaten before, a language you've never spoken before, religion that mystifies, customs that confuse, politics that perplex, all question everyday assumptions about how you live your life.
Michael Palin
I'm aware that, if you feel down, it can be strangely unrelated to circumstances around you. That's just the way life is.
Michael Palin
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
Michael Palin
Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future
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
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 can be me, and people seem quite happy with that.
Michael Palin
When in doubt, resort to animation.

In the absence of fear there is little faith.
