More quotes by 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'm not a collector. I don't like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.
Rowan Atkinson
I have always regarded Mr. Bean as a timeless, ageless character, and I would rather he be remembered as a character mostly in his 30s and 40s.
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 want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination.
Rowan Atkinson
You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
Rowan Atkinson
I don't really have plans like that [move towards more dramatic acting].
Rowan Atkinson
I'm sure that a French production of this [Maigret series] would be different. For better or worse, who's to say, but probably not very good for 8 o'clock on ITV.
Rowan Atkinson
Your services might be as useful as a barbershop on the steps of a guillotine.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
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
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
Nope, I don't enjoy work generally. Not because I'm lazy it's just all so stressful and worrying.
Rowan Atkinson
Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not a naturally funny man. I find that I can only be funny, if I become someone else.
Rowan Atkinson
To criticise a person for their race is a manifestly irrational and ridiculous. But to criticise their religion - that is a right. That is a freedom.
Rowan Atkinson
The first couple of weeks of filming were quite tricky for me to find my feet with the character [Maigret], which wasn't helped by the story that we were telling.
Rowan Atkinson
It certainly helps, I think, with some actors to understand the process of acting. You see what extraordinary pressure they're under, there's a huge circus dedicated to a particular moment and they're got to deliver and it can help that you, even if empathetically alone, understand what they're doing.
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
[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.
