More From Eric Idle

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!
Funny Weed Morning
I have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. i mean, they tell you what's funny. it's almost tailor-made for people who shoot the way we shoot, trying a million different options and versions of things. because the audience doesn't laugh at a joke, we put in another joke. if they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. you just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.
Mean People Laughing
I keep on repeating something told to me by an american psychologist: "when you are making a joke about someone and you are the only one to laugh, it is not a joke. it is a joke only for yourself." if people are making a joke they have the right to laugh at me but i will ignore them. ignoring doesn't mean that you don't understand. you understand it so much that you don't want to react.

What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. the only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.
Successful Track Stories
No one, in the world's whole history, ever attempted to substantiate a truth by a miracle. truth scorns the assistance of miracle. nothing but falsehood ever attested itself by signs and wonders. no miracle ever was performed, and no sane man ever thought he had performed one, and until one is performed, there can be no evidence of the existence of any power superior to, and independent of nature.
Independent Men Miracle
I do miss the social aspect of sitting in a pub with a pint but you know what when i get down to it i never went for a pint. i went to a pub to get f**ked up. if it was just going for a pint that would be ok but once i start i just can't stop.

I do miss george bush. compared to these teabaggers and the people who are pandering to them, he looks like a professor.
People Missing Looks
We remember what it was like to meet someone new. we remember what it was like to grant someone possibility. you look out from your own world and then you step into his, not really knowing what you’ll find there, but hoping it will be something good. both ryan and avery are doing this. you step into his world and you don’t even realize your loneliness is missing. you’ve left it behind, and you don’t notice because you have no desire to turn back.
Loneliness Knowing Missing
Look, there’s nothing i’m ever going to tell you about me that’s the truth. the more you know about me, the shorter your life span is going to be. all you need to know is that i don’t miss. in fact, you don’t even need to know exactly how good i really am, because if you ever find out, you’re going to be dead. (steele)
