Rowan Atkinson
I have to say that I've always believed perfectionism is more of a disease than a quality. I do try to go with the flow but I can't let go.
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
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Rowan Atkinson
