The Minister Of Transport Issued This Appeal

One Of The Reasons We Moved To L.a. In The First Place [was] So That It Was No Big Deal That I Was In Show Business. We Decided If We Move[d] To L.a., Then Everyone In One Way Or Another Was Involved In It.

So It Became In My Mind A Nine-carol Service; An Oratorio And Orchestral Concert All In One, But With Narration. That's Something I've Learned About, Because It's The Story That Keeps You In There. I Wrote A Libretto And I Gave It To John Du Prez. We Normally Don't Work In This Fashion But I Said Off You Go, And He Went Off For About Three Months. He Brought Me Back This Demo Which Blew My Mind.

We Never Have That Thought! The Whole Object Is To Bite Off More Than You Can Chew. John [du Prez] Always Says, Eric Thinks Of Something Completely Insane And Insists We Go In That Direction. It's The Correct Way To Look At Things And The Correct Place To Start, I Think.

If You're Famous, You Have To [be Overly Generous], Otherwise People Say, "eric Idle Came In And Only Left Me $4." I Always Tip More Than People Expect.

I Got Locked Into A Tradition [at Cambridge] Of Doing Comedy.
