I wanted to be an explorer, but gradually found the world had been explored and that there was nowhere left, really. Once they climbed Everest in 1953, when I was 10 years old, I thought, 'Well, that's pretty much it now.' But the idea of travelling and exploring and adventure was very strong.
Michael Palin
The human race should just slow down and think about what it is doing.
Michael Palin
I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.
