Of course, some would say if you have a performing inclination, then you should become a lawyer. That's a platform we use, or a priest. You know, anywhere you lecture and pontificate to people.

Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression.

I think you're bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It's not something you often do in comedy.

The Maigret stories are all very different in terms of the content and the way that the stories are told. They're not what I would call formulaic.

I've no desire to hang around with a bunch of upper-class delinquents, do twenty minutes' work and then spend the rest of the day loafing about in Paris drinking gallons of champagne and having dozens of moist, pink, highly experienced French peasant girls galloping up and down my - hang on.

The character [Maigret] is bound to change and develop, and I wouldn't like to claim that we are perfectly formed straight out of the box. I think it's what I'd call an 'optimistic start'. As you know, for me, no glass is anything other than half empty, so I apologise for my reticence in terms of promoting this programme.

We still have a tradition certainly in English television it's faded a bit in the last five years, but we still have a tradition where the important thing is the quality and the challenging nature of the programming.

I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.

You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

[Georges] Simenon could be very brave like that. You never quite know what you're going to get or how the story's going to be told.

When you play a serious role, as far as I'm concerned, I feel I'm using exactly the same skills, whatever they are, to play the role as you do with something more obviously comic. It's slightly different muscles, but the same skill set.

It's not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.

I have always believed that there should be no subject about which one cannot make jokes, religion included. Clearly, one is always constricted by contemporary mores and trends because, after all, what one seeks above all is an appreciative audience.
