More quotes by Rowan Atkinson
I tend to play rather odd men. People that are slightly odd or eccentric, or have a more particular attitude to life.
Rowan Atkinson
I don't really have plans like that [move towards more dramatic acting].
Rowan Atkinson
I don't think you should be too absolutist about what you play and what you don't play.
Rowan Atkinson
But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.
Rowan Atkinson
Look, if I'd wanted a lecture on the rights of man, I'd have gone to bed with Martin Luther.
Rowan Atkinson
It's not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.
Rowan Atkinson
I think you're bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It's not something you often do in comedy.
Rowan Atkinson
You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
Rowan Atkinson
Certainly in the second film [Maigret's Dead Man], which is quite a more unpleasant and darker story, it's quite different in tone and feel.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Rowan Atkinson
Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family entertainer.
Rowan Atkinson
I think in many ways Johnny English is a more believable character.
Rowan Atkinson
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.
Rowan Atkinson
The older you get, the more you realise how happenstance... has helped to determine your path through life.
Rowan Atkinson
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.
Rowan Atkinson
Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.
Rowan Atkinson
Johnny English is someone who really means well it's just that he's not as good as he thinks he is, and I think that maybe that's the British male in a nutshell.
Rowan Atkinson
I want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination.
Rowan Atkinson
[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.
Rowan Atkinson
Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something - this side of it, if you like, doing interviews - is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.
Rowan Atkinson
