John Cleese

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

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.

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

Some actors, I think, want to feel that they are as creative as the writer. And the answer is, frankly, they're not.

Don't let anyone tell you what you ought to like... Some wines that some experts think are absolutely exquisite don't appeal to me at all.

For me, the great problem growing up in England was that I had a very narrow concept of what God can be, and it was damn close to an old man with a beard.

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

It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.

Laughter is a force for democracy.
