More quotes by Rowan Atkinson
The good thing about those original credit card commercials was that they were very filmic, they were like little movies, so it wasn't a big step to think well maybe we could make a big movie using this character, which we eventually did.
Rowan Atkinson
But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not a naturally funny man. I find that I can only be funny, if I become someone else.
Rowan Atkinson
I find his films about as funny as getting an arrow through the neck and discovering there's a gas bill tied to it.
Rowan Atkinson
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.
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
To Be Successful You Don't Need Beautiful Face And Heroic Body, What You Need is Skillful Mind And Ability To Perform
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
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
I like to relish words and sentences, and phraseology, and there's not much facility for that [playing Maigret].
Rowan Atkinson
Nope, I don't enjoy work generally. Not because I'm lazy it's just all so stressful and worrying.
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 suddenly think the job of acting is a difficult one. It's not as flip, irrelevant and shallow a calling as I thought it was in the Eighties.
Rowan Atkinson
The problem with Maigret is he hasn't got a limp, and he hasn't got a lisp, and he hasn't got a French accent, or a particular love of opera... or all those other things that people tend to attach to many fictional detectives. He's just an ordinary guy doing an extraordinary job, in a very interesting time.
Rowan Atkinson
Get that right, then- if you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally. But try to be creatively lead rather than market lead. And that's important to me.
Rowan Atkinson
I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.
Rowan Atkinson
Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family entertainer.
Rowan Atkinson
It is very linear storytelling, and I think that's not so much the fashion. I was watching a new drama the other night which was extremely non-linear, where you flash back and flash forward in ways that certainly keeps you on your toes as the audience. There's not much of that courage with the storytelling in our Maigret film.
Rowan Atkinson
Confronting a stadium audience, you can't see the whites of their eyes. It's just an amorphous mass of noise and, of course, you can't see the alleged billions watching at home either, so the degree to which you are intimidated is quite low.
Rowan Atkinson
Having spent a substantial part of my career parodying religious figures from my own Christian background, I am aghast at the notion that it could, in effect, be made illegal to imply ridicule of a religion or to lampoon religious figures.
Rowan Atkinson
