“There was this hugely lively energy in him which was very attractive, and he also had a confidence that I rather envied. He’d take things on without any worry that he might not do them terribly well. He did do them well, but you know what I mean, I’d always hold back and think, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I could do that or get it right.’ And I don’t think Terry was ever assailed by those kind of doubts, so he was a remarkable chap, and he had an enormous number of different talents, you know, and I think that was what was remarkable about him. He was the most multi-talented of the Pythons.” -John Cleese

Happy birthday, Terry Jones (February 1, 1942 - January 21, 2020)

“I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs, moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him, but if you didn’t, you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us.” -Eric Idle

“It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded away so gently.” -John Cleese

“Terry was someone totally consumed with life... a brilliant, constantly questioning, iconoclastic, righteously argumentative and angry but outrageously funny and generous and kind human being... and very often a complete pain in the ass. One could never hope for a better friend.” -Terry Gilliam

“Terry was one of my closest, most valued friends. He was kind, generous, supportive, passionate about living life to the full. He was far more than one of the funniest writer performers of his generation, he was the complete Renaissance comedian - writer, director, presenter, historian, brilliant children’s author, and the warmest, most wonderful company you could wish to have. I feel very fortunate to have shared so much of my life with him.” -Michael Palin

Rest in peace, Terry Jones

Top 10 Monty Python Sketches (as voted by my followers): #3. Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit

“Now it’s quite simple to defend yourself against the banana fiend. First of all, you force him to drop the banana! Next, you eat the banana, thus disarming him! You have now rendered him helpless!”

“It’s also obvious he gets strength from the presence of Palin. Towards the end of our interview, Jones reaches out to grasp his hand, giving it a good squeeze. The pair hold hands for a couple of minutes, a gesture that perfectly reflects their fifty years of friendship.” [x]

#what I’m learning from this post is that John Cleese is the godfather

“You felt that you had found one other person who you could write with. That was a rather delicate, rather special relationship. You didn’t know whether it would work with anybody else. I mean we did work with each other on Python. I wrote with John a bit and all that, but I found it very different from writing with Terry. A bit like going off in the afternoon and cheating on your wife, you know.”
