Bill Bailey

Venture-capital firms invest in trends by projecting returns. But most projections are pretty much bogus, and research shows that experts are no better at predicting the future than dart-throwing monkeys.

Vinod Khosla

You know, if you have a zoo you don’t want the other creatures to see you. You want them to hang out and act properly and, you know, when the monkeys will come and ask for the bananas, they won’t act like monkeys. If you want them to act on what their true nature is, you’ve got to leave them alone.

Tarsem Singh

‘Monkeys’ is made up of nine short stories that tell an overall story. ‘Folly‘ is a series of vignettes all put together to tell a larger story. In ‘Lust and Other Stories,’ there are nine stories – three, three, three; the beginnings of love, the middles, and the afters.

All the musicians I loved growing up were men. I loved Leonard Cohen, Mick Jagger. I loved Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. Even today, I love Van McCann from Catfish and the Bottlemen and Matt Healy from The 1975.

Halsey

I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She’s a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys.

I wouldn’t mind working with Queens of the Stone Age, doing some guitar stuff on that. Even Arctic Monkeys. I’d like to do be a bit of guitar with them guys. I’ll play on anyone‘s record to be honest with you.

Steve Jones

One of my most laughable moments was when we visited the monkeys in Ubud – they really seemed to like me and at one point, I had three males on my head and shoulders.

Carolyn Murphy

I really like the Gorillaz and Arctic Monkeys.

I’ve never heard anything like ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.’ The Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band, and that is my favorite album.

Lil Xan

I don’t find monkeys inherently funny.

Paul F. Tompkins

There’s a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they’d eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn’t true.

Ian Hart

What I was most curious about was why Armstrong, a top U.S. Navy test pilot, flying the most advanced aircraft in the world, would want to join the astronaut corps in 1962, which included chimpanzees and monkeys.

When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.

Alvah Bessie

Evolution isn’t true, because if we evolved from monkeys, how can they still be here?

I saw the ‘Wizard of Oz’ recently and realized that, all my life, I thought they were real monkeys with wings. That’s how scary that movie was for me.

Fred Willard

I don’t envy guards. They’re quick little monkeys, those guys.

Steven Adams

I love the Arctic Monkeys!

John Cooper Clarke

I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind – you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job.

Criss Angel

The puma is, with the exception of some monkeys, the most playful animal in existence.

William Henry Hudson

One of my first festivals was Oxygen 2006. It had this amazing lineup with the Arctic Monkeys on their first or second album, the Strokes, Kings of Leon, the Magic Numbers and then the Who and James Brown. I waited in the pit for a good eight hours to see James Brown.

Hozier

I would love to work with Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, B.B. King. I’d love to do something with Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane, and The Last Shadow Puppets. If I got a call from Juliette Lewis or PJ Harvey, or Chrissie Hynde, that’d be a thrill.

Imelda May

As a fan, when I hear that a film is going to be turned into a television show, I do go to that place immediately of, ‘Is it going to be any good? Is it going to be a waste of time? Why are they doing it?’ It’s ’12 Monkeys,’ and ’12 Monkeys’ is awesome, so I wanted to be a part of it and work on it.

Aaron Stanford

I think probably the scariest thing, as weird as it sounds, was ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember seeing that – it still seems freaky.

Rob Zombie

My nan, God bless her, used to buy the NME, then go to the chip shop and be like ‘ooh check out that’ every week, she‘d be saying, ‘Oh have you heard the new single by Arctic Monkeys?’ and it’s like, I haven‘t even heard this!

James Righton

If we are allowed to do experiments on monkeys because we are superior to them in a certain way, then someone who is superior to me is allowed to do experiments on me.

Comedians are the monkeys of acting. When you go to the zoo, everybody loves the monkey exhibit.

Tracy Morgan

My first taste of theater was my middle school play. We did ‘The Jungle Book.’ I auditioned for Mowgli, which I didn’t get. I ended up playing a part as one of the monkeys.

Cody Simpson

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn’t theirs.

Terry Pratchett

I just don’t know when we all decided that if it doesn’t fit in a Happy Meal box, it’s not for kids. I remember flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, and I grew up watching Monty Python. I think that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to the absurd.

Gore Verbinski

You could put on monkeys jumping up and down and get bigger numbers than MSNBC.

Arctic Monkeys are actually one of my favourite bands going, which is really weird cos I went to school and college with them.

Gordon Brown

In arguing that machines think, we are in the same fix as Darwin when he argued that man shares common ancestors with monkeys, or Galileo when he argued that the Earth spins on its axis.

Herbert A. Simon

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

Terry Pratchett

There’s a time and a place for a bit of realism, and it’s bands like Arctic Monkeys that do it amazingly well. But why do bands have to recycle something that’s already been done very well? We wanted to make interesting pop music, and to drop in literary references.

James Righton

The reason we personify things like cars and computers is that just as monkeys live in an arboreal world and moles live in an underground world and water striders live in a surface tension-dominated flatland, we live in a social world.

Richard Dawkins

I grew a love for helpless, defenseless things. People would give me lions and jaguars. I had cheetahs, monkeys.

Dick Dale

I became fascinated with the concept of speak no, see no, hear no evil. And – and the actual depiction of three wise monkeys. And I began collecting it over the years. And I kind of figured that I might be the – the fourth monkey, the feel no evil monkey.

Mackenzie Phillips

Don’t sell your soul to buy peanuts for the monkeys.

Dorothy Salisbury Davis

I love bands like the Arctic Monkeys and The Smiths, and I’m working on my own music.

Peyton List

A great deal of my mail comes from fans of the ‘Oz’ picture – fans of all ages. The scholarly, the curious, the disbelievers write and ask how? why? when? what for? did you fly? melt? scream? cackle? appear? disappear? produce? sky-write? deal with monkeys? etc., etc., etc.

Margaret Hamilton

Cats and monkeys; monkeys and cats; all human life is there.

Henry James

Nature made your eyebrows like that for a reason. I don’t know the reason. Some people say it’s to do with keeping rain out of monkeys’ eyes. Whatever. The point is, if you try to redesign your eyebrows with tweezers and pens, it will look terrible.

Victoria Coren Mitchell

Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey.

Radhanath Swami

I really don’t like monkeys.

Huda Kattan

I have had women in their 70s coming up to me saying, ‘I can’t get enough of ’12 Monkeys’ – I love it. I can’t wait for the next episode.’ That’s not the demographic that you expect to be watching sci-fi shows.

Amanda Schull

If you could cross a lion and a monkey, that’s what I’d be, because monkeys are funny and lions are strong.

Marlon Wayans

I don’t want to sound pretentious, but you could hire a bunch of monkeys to be on a TV show, and if it’s successful, then everything‘s perfect and everybody’s happy.

Scott Caan

My mother went to a school called ‘The Club of the Three Wise Monkeys’. And my grandmother, my father‘s mother, had a gold charm for her made with the speak no, see no, hear no evil monkeys. And I was fascinated by that charm. I’d sit in my mother’s lap and play with it all the time.

Mackenzie Phillips

With the exception of the New York Times, Fox news, and Lou Dobbs of CNN, and talk radio, the rest of the mainstream media has basically been silenced like a bunch of dumb monkeys.

Curt Weldon

Freedom is a human concept. We have these very romanticized, sentimentalized notions of freedom. And for species – monkeys and other creatures – freedom is a pretty risky, complex proposition that’s not always for their benefit.

Thomas French

Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.

Wangari Maathai

In the test tube, I can make any DNA I want, recombining it from monkeys, worms, anywhere. So I can explore new rules of breeding with molecules.

Charles Jules Henry Nicole

Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love, like ‘Primer’ or ’12 Monkeys,’ ‘Looper’ is not about time travel. It’s about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively, the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.
