More quotes by Michael Palin
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
Michael Palin
The Buddhist version of poverty is a situation where you have nothing to contribute.
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
One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.
Michael Palin
If I am seen as successful, it's all the more reason not to change - not to lose track of friends, not to be driven everywhere, not to go and get away from the world. That, to me, is real success: enjoying what you do, but being the same person.
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
When in doubt, resort to animation.
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
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 am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
Michael Palin
I would love to go to Iran. The island of Madagascar, everyone says is pretty exotic, or the wonderful Namibian desert.
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
You don't ask people about the immigration policies of the U.K. or their country's agricultural policy. Instead, you talk to them about the meal they're eating or their family, and from that you get the sense of another human being, someone we can all relate to.
Michael Palin
My parents have been married forty-two years. I wonder how many of those were happy.
Michael Palin
I am certainly more interested in interviewing than being interviewed. Sometimes you find yourself attacked from the start.
Michael Palin
I will die, but not retire.
Michael Palin
People are still crazy about Python after twenty-five years, which I find hard to believe.
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
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.
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.
