I was getting frustrated with America. It's interesting how as simple a thing as, like, letting your hair grow longer changed in the world in those days.

I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.

I've given up asking questions. l merely float on a tsunami of acceptance of anything life throws at me ... and marvel stupidly.

I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world.

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.

I don't think you ever learn just one thing. At some point you start unlearning things. I have been working hard to unlearn everything I know.

As the sun sets, something in me rises! Do you think it could be my soul? I feel it's a big probability!

You are my dark turned to bright, the day into my light. A vision of splendour to my lights, light.

Oh! Polly thought. Why aren't all girls locked up by law the year they turn fifteen? They do such stupid things!

Only man clogs his happiness with care destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.

News seems to travel far more quickly on Twitter and Facebook than through search.

There's no bigger surprise than to be tooling along at 200 MPH and suddenly get hit from the rear

Bankrupt of life, yet prodigal of ease.

I love people and entertaining. The fact I can still do it, and it's with my wife is phenomenal. I wanna reach 95 years!

He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for her.
