“There is nothing better than playing a scene with John Cleese or Maggie Smith. It's electric. But I don't think I'm the sort of person who needs to have an outer ego in order to produce something. I realised that through the travel programmes.”

“Travelling, and being paid for it, is just great.”

“Something about John Cleese was always very unsettled, I felt. There was always something else he wanted to do. He seemed constantly driven by this sense that there was a nirvana somewhere; some unique place where mind, body and soul would be utterly satisfied.”

“If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it.”

“The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.”

“One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.”

“I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.”

“Fame changes everything. When you're well-known, you're expected to be different. Some people assume you must have a yacht and four homes. Or that you're famous because you are 'A Decent Man'.”

“I will die, but not retire.”

“It was Noel Coward whose technique I envied and tried to emulate. I collected all his records and writing.”

“I found that if I got up on the stage to entertain the troops I could make them shut up and look.”

“People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement.”

“I see myself as a roving mosquito, choosing it's target.”

“The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.”

“We know grooming is important for people. To get their hair done, to get make-up and things like that - that makes a person feel better.”

“A fan club is a group of people who tell an actor he's not alone in the way he feels about himself.”

“In the house in Beverly Hills where our four children grew up, living conditions were a few thousand times improved over the old tenement on New York's East 93rd Street we Marx Brothers called home.”

“In the fall of 1943 we brought home our second son, whom we named Alexander.”

“In 1944 James Arthur and Minnie Susan were added to the Marx household.”

“I was the same kind of father as I was a harpist - I played by ear.”

“She's a lovely person. She deserves a good husband. Marry her before she finds one.”

"Susan, an only child who never had any roots, and I, a lone wolf who got married 20 years to late, were adopted by the kids as much as they were by us."

"I am the most fortunate self-taught harpist and non-speaking actor who has ever lived."

"If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world`s against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it."

"But I guess that`s the way it is. When you lose something irreplaceable, you don`t mourn for the thing you lost. you mourn for yourself."

On visiting Hamburg, Germany, shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power:
"I saw the most frightening, most depressing sight I had ever seen - a row of stores with Stars of David and the word `Jude` painted on them, and inside, behind half-empty counters, people in a daze, cringing like they didn't know what hit them and didn't know where the next blow would come from. Hitler had been in power only six months, and his boycott was already in full effect. I hadn't been so wholly conscious of being a Jew since my bar mitzvah, and it was the first time since I'd had the measles that I was too sick to eat."

“The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.”

“When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves.”

“Militarily, we succeeded in Vietnam. We won every engagement we were involved in out there.”

“I was participating in my own lynching, but the problem was I didn't know what I was being lynched for.”

“The last man in the world who should have been criticised was the American soldier. They should have criticised me.”

“The Vietnam memorial is a masterpiece. The names of the dead are listed there, chronologically. Just the names.”

“At the end of World War II I wrote down some principles of war. I have them still today—on a card I carry in my wallet, and I want to share them with you. Whenever possible, feed the troops a hot meal. Make sure they have dry socks, and check their feet. Stress getting the troops their mail.”

“The President never tried to tell me how to run the war. The tactics and battlefield strategy of running the war were mine. He did not interfere with this. He deferred to my judgement, and he let me run the war or pursue tactics and battlefield strategy as I saw fit.”

“Pacification was oversold in the United States and oversold to the Johnson administration, where it was the ‘end all.’ It was never the end all with me, and I got pressure after pressure after pressure to put emphasis on pacification at the expense of allowing the main forces to have a free rein.”

“My most memorable moment in my military career was the occasion of my address to a joint session of Congress in April 1967.”

“You know, if we’d used nuclear weapons we could have won that war.”

“I might get drunk one day and fall in love or fall over a hooker outside, and I would have consummated a relationship that I couldn't necessarily believe in.”

“What's the point of staying sober?”
