• I got used to dealing with groups of boys and getting on with life in unpleasant circumstances and being smart and funny and subversive at the expense of authority.

• I think basically what we were doing was laughing at the authoritarian figures we grew up under. ...you know it’s nonsense, this assumed authority that's been given to you by teachers, by military figures, by police, by judges, and it's all pretending, "we know what's going on on this planet" and it's all bullshit. And I think that Python was quite good at getting rid of those inhibitions, and I think it's why it's still appealing to the young.
