Thursday Quotes - page 3
I had always found Colonel Qaddafi hilarious. I wanted to do a character that was inspired by him. And you had all these other ludicrous characters, like Turkmenbashi, who was the President and dictator of Turkmenistan, who renamed, I think, the day Thursday and the word for "bread” after his mother. And when his doctor told him to give up smoking, he banned smoking from the whole country, because he didn't want to be reminded of cigarettes. And then you have someone like Kim Jong-il, you know, who claimed to have hit nine holes-in-one in his first-ever game of golf, and also Colonel Qaddafi, who had these sort of thirty virgin guards, dressed unintentionally like a sixty-year-old women, and who would break wind when being interviewed by the BBC, as you know.
