If you give people a chance, they shine.

Life is supposed to be fun. It's not a job or occupation. We're here only once and we should have a bit of a laugh.

Billy Connolly 168 quotes

Once you become successful, pe...

Once you become successful, people know where you live, the type of house you live in, the kind of car you drive, the clothes you wear, and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go back, your life changes every day.

There's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes.

When I read 'Be real, don't get caught acting,' I thought, 'How the hell do you do that?'.

I can't believe in Christianity, but I think Jesus was a wonderful teacher.

When people say 'it's always ...

When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?

I used to have Mad Cow's disease, but I'm alright Nooooooooow.

I love fishing. It's transcendental meditation with a punchline.

I?m much bigger in Britain than I am there. I'm well-known, but my name's That Guy in America. . . . People shout: 'Hey ? I know you! You're That Guy.'.

There's nothing like it, but it's not as good as you think it's going to be. . . . I was disappointed because there are records of people finding things that have been there for years. I was hoping for a shirt button, or my club's badge - but not a sausage.

I've come in and out of America for... well, I've lived here for 15 years. And I've played here for nearly 30 years. On and off. But I've always played to my fan base. And I can come and do two or three nights in New York or two or three nights in L.A., and all that. But when I go away, nobody knows I've been gone. You know, I don't get reviewed or anything like that. So that's why I've come back and done a longer time in a smaller place, in New York. It's always the people who live here that get a chance to know me.

Well, the film's not only pric...

Well, the film's not only pricking the pomposity of the Church, it's pricking the pomposity, and sometimes you would think fraudulence, of the insurance companies. I had never read anything like this until I was doing the film, but Mark [Joffe, the director] and people showed me stuff where, like a flood, it mattered where the water came from. If you're flooded from above, you get the money; if you're flooded from below, you don't. What's that about?

Whenever I wear something expensive it looks stolen.

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came would I be standing here?

Where do you go when you die? The same place you were before you were born; nowhere! It's over!

Billy Connolly 168 quotes

So, have you heard about the oyster who went to a disco and pulled a mussel?

Nothing means anything here. When they pull down an outstanding building, no one objects. Oh, maybe there's a wee protest from some collectors or something who take a picture of it before it vanishes.

I don't like the beach. I think we have no business at the beach at all, as a species. We don't belong in the sea. The sea is full of things that bite us, sting us, hurt the soles of our feet, and it's extremely cold. When are we gonna take the hint that the things that live in the sea don't like us?

I spent the whole time battering people I liked and singing with my arm round people I loathed.
