Life Is A Comedy When

Having Little Money To Spend Was A Valuable Learning Experience. My Schooling Also Shaped My Work Ethic Because While Other Children Were Listening To The Goons, I Was Studying, Which Enabled Me To Go To Cambridge University.

At Cambridge, You Have To Kiss The Vice-chancellor's Fingers. But I Missed Out On That, 'cause I Was Doing A Matinee. I Don't Want To Kiss A Strange Man's Fingers Anyway.

Monty Python Paid Me £20,000 To Write, Direct And Assemble Them - The Cheapskates! I Told Them I'd Never Earned Less In A Year Since Leaving Cambridge. The First Show Sold Out In 43 Seconds And We Ended Up Performing Ten In Total. We Had No Idea There Would Be Such Demand.

We Never Have That Thought! The Whole Object Is To Bite Off More Than You Can Chew. John [du Prez] Always Says, Eric Thinks Of Something Completely Insane And Insists We Go In That Direction. It's The Correct Way To Look At Things And The Correct Place To Start, I Think.
