Technology frightens me to de...

Technology frightens me to death. It's designed by engineers to impress other engineers, and they always come with instruction booklets that are written by engineers for other engineers - which is why almost no technology ever works.

John Cleese 209 quotes

You don't have to be the Dala...

You don't have to be the Dalai Lama to tell people that life's about change.

John Cleese 209 quotes

It seems astounding to me now...

It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they'd be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that.

John Cleese 209 quotes

I think that sometimes you do...

I think that sometimes you do something that makes a small group of people laugh, which is all we were trying to do; we were just trying to make each other laugh.

John Cleese 209 quotes

While you're being creative, ...

While you're being creative, nothing is wrong. There's no such thing as a mistake, and any drivel may lead to the breakthrough.

John Cleese 209 quotes

I think the problem with peop...

I think the problem with people like this is that they are so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are.

No hope for planet at all. Bu...

No hope for planet at all. But I will be gone before the planet is gone, so it's your problem.

John Cleese 209 quotes

Muslims, who have a completel...

Muslims, who have a completely different value system, come to the West, then they should accept that there are certain basic values in the West intrinsic to our culture. Just as I wouldn't suggest that any Westerner walk down the streets of Saudi Arabia in a bikini.

Don't let anyone tell you wha...

Don't let anyone tell you what you ought to like.

Life is a terminal disease, and it is sexually transmitted.

My mum died about three years...

My mum died about three years ago at the age of 101, and just towards the end, as she began to run out of energy, she did actually stop trying to tell me what to do most of the time.

John Cleese 209 quotes

I'm not sure what's going on ...

I'm not sure what's going on in Britain. I don't know what's going on in London. Because London is no longer an English city, and that's how they got the Olympics. I mean, they said, "We're the most cosmopolitan city on Earth," but it doesn't feel English.

John Cleese 209 quotes

I don't want to have to start...

I don't want to have to start being unselfish again. The great thing about being on your own is you do what you damned well like.

John Cleese 209 quotes

If you want to know who your ...

If you want to know who your friends are, have a major failure.

John Cleese 209 quotes

The most creative people have...

The most creative people have learned to tolerate the slight discomfort of indecision for much longer and so, just because they put in more pondering time, their solutions are more creative.

John Cleese 209 quotes

If I like chocolate it won't ...

If I like chocolate it won't surprise you that I have a few chocolates in my fridge, but if you find out I've got 16 warehouses full of chocolate, you'd think I was insane. All these rich guys are insane, obsessive compulsive twits obsessed with money - money is all they think about - they're all nuts.

John Cleese 209 quotes

I get bored easily. I've been bored most of my life.

John Cleese 209 quotes

Because, as we all know, it’s...

Because, as we all know, it’s easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent, like thinking. And it’s also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we’re not so sure about.

John Cleese 209 quotes

It’s only on the brink that p...

It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.

John Cleese 209 quotes

...when you collaborate with ...

...when you collaborate with someone else on something creative, you get to places that you would never get to on your own. The way an idea builds as it careens back and forth between good writers is so unpredictable. Sometimes it depends on people misunderstanding each other, and that's why I don't think there's any such thing as a mistake in the creative process. You never know where it might lead.
