I don't invest in the stock market, but I have pension funds - some in America and the UK.

I got locked into a tradition [at Cambridge] of doing comedy.

I've got soggy thighs. It must be dinner time.

There's animals like us existing and thinking and giving interviews on Australian television.

You could write a joke in the pub at lunchtime and watch it performed on television that evening.

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.

Life has a very simple plot: first you're here and then you're not.
