It was a strange feeling going into a church I did not know for a service that I did not really believe in, but once inside I couldn't help a feeling of warmth and security. Outside there were wars and road accidents and murders, striptease clubs and...

I've always wanted to do a shoot with snakes - big snakes, like pythons.
Minstrel: [singing] He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin His head sm...

King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I b...
Americans like to think 'Python' is how English people really are. There is an element of truth to that.
I have a weird sense of humour. My dad's the same. We love watching 'Monty Python' together.
But as a kid, I loved 'Monty Python.' My Dad was a devout watcher. We used to watch it when we ate dinner!
You know, Python should have won a Grammy for our musical work on the show.

I was pretty much a child of 'Monty Python.' I grew up loving that type of humor and even structured a lot of humor in the same fashion.
If a song is funny and absurd, and it sounds great, it's just going to be that much funnier. And there's no better example of that than 'Monty Python.'
No day of my life passes without someone saying the words 'Monty Python' to me. It's not bad.
I'd grown up loving English films. I was a huge Monty Python fanatic as a kid.
I'd always thought that if Python was going to go on at all, it'd be nice to get into storylines.
