Now, anybody can make a movie, and I don't see that many great movies, because I think there's only a limited amount of talent out there.

I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!

I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.

John Cleese was with a group called Cambridge Circus, who had come to New York, and we became friends. Years later that produced a certain team effort.

My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.

I was an incredible Anglophile. I found people who shared the same sense of humor and attitude toward the world.
