Always Look on the Bright Side of Life: A Sortabiography

by Eric Idle

Writing about yourself is an odd mix of therapy and lap dancing; exciting and yet a little shameful.

I think all the Pythons are nuts in some way, and together we make one completely insane person.

And really, laughter is the only sane response to pathological lying.

Laughter is still the best revenge. One day the sun will die, one day the galaxy will die, one day the entire Universe will die. I’m not feeling too good myself. So, what have I learned over my long and weird life? Well, firstly, that there are two kinds of people, and I don’t much care for either of them. Secondly, when faced with a difficult choice, either way is often best. Thirdly, always leave a party when people begin to play the bongos.
