" "There was one occasion when John Cleese and myself actually felt guilty about laughing at something we were writing, because it was in incredibly bad taste. So bad was the taste that we just couldn't help laughing at it. It concerned a gentleman walking into … an undertaker's premises with his dead mother in a sack. And from there it got worse.

About Graham Chapman
Graham Chapman (8 January 1941 – 4 October 1989) was a British comedy writer, comedy actor, and physician. Chapman is best known for his work as a member of the comedy troupe Monty Python, which he co-founded in 1969. He and comedian John Cleese were writing partners for about 20 years. Whilst studying medicine at the University of Cambridge's Emmanuel College, Chapman joined the Cambridge Footlights. This led to work writing comedy scripts for BBC Radio and BBC Television. He co-created and co-starred in the sketch comedy series At Last the 1948 Show and Monty Python's Flying Circus, and starred in the feature films Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), The Odd Job (1978), and Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979). Chapman died in 1989 of complications from cancer and stroke.

Ultimately, I think writing is more … satisfying [than acting], … because if you write something, later on in the day … you can read it through again and you know that it's … good. That's a very satisfying feeling because [the work] is there, it's something you've created. … Acting is … a skill which a lot of people have. Less so with writing …. But, I'm enjoying acting now much more than I did. It was torture for me at one point, in the latter days of [Monty Python's Flying Circus]. But then, after sobering up, I really began to enjoy it again.
