Michael Palin
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'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
