More From Eric Idle

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
Horror is like comedy. woody allen's comedy is going to be very different from ben stiller's comedy which is going to be different from adam sandler's comedy which is going to be different from judd apatow's comedy. they're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. horror is the same way.
Different Way Comedy
I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!
Song Stress Writing
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.
Country Laughter Gay
Comedy scares me a lot. i feel like it's way harder than drama. i think my safety net is definitely drama and i would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a christopher guest kind of style show. that, to me, is my kind of comedy. like, ricky gervais comedy. that's my kind of thing.

Similar Quotes
I start by mulling a question and before i know it, a whole drama is unfolding in my head. often, an idea sticks before i know what i'm going to do with it.
Drama Ideas Sticks
Do remember, though, that unless you're a playwright, the result [dialogue] isn't what you want; it's only an element of what you want. actors embody and re-create the words of drama. in fiction, a tremendous amount of story and character may be given through the dialogue, but the story-world and its people have to be created by the storyteller. if there's nothing in it but disembodied voices, too much is missing.
Drama Writing Character
I wonder what it means when americans say i'm an american. in britain the culture is basically the same from one end of the country to the other. and when i came here and i saw americans who live, i don't know, in you know, northwestern california as opposed to americans who live in louisiana, as opposed to americans who live in the nevada desert. english even is literally a picture that i have in my mind of an oak tree in the field, a single oak in a green field. and also when i think of my russian roots, it's the landscape that i connect with as more than maybe the poetry or the drama.
Country Drama Mean
The drama thing was something i've always wanted to do, but the opportunities are rare, and they have to be the right ones.
