On Facebook:
"I don’t begin to understand contemporary society. Nobody has yet been able to explain Facebook to me. I just don’t know why anybody would do it and that’s quite scary because you’ve got to be in some sort of touch with your audience … If you don’t understand your audience, the best thing to do is get out.”
On the Daily Mail's claims that the Monty Python actors hate each other:
“I think it’s because something like the Daily Mail, which is my pet hate, it operates on trying to make people anxious and slightly depressed because that’s how they sell more copies. When it actually came out, it was a huge success. They pretended it had got mixed reviews because they don’t want people to be happy. We made a lot of people happy and they made us happy. We went out and had a good time … and at the end of it, I thought that was marvelous and of course that’s not going to sell. So, the Daily Mail tried to spoil it by pretending it hadn’t been a success and it’s kind of sick.”
Michael Palin then interjected: "So as you can see, we hate the Daily Mail slightly more than we hate each other."
