More quotes by Rowan Atkinson
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.
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 think you should be too absolutist about what you play and what you don't play.
Rowan Atkinson
Your services might be as useful as a barbershop on the steps of a guillotine.
Rowan Atkinson
The older you get, the more you realise how happenstance... has helped to determine your path through life.
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
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
Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family entertainer.
Rowan Atkinson
I would never be a television presenter. It's not something I could ever do.
Rowan Atkinson
But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.
Rowan Atkinson
The job is interesting, and the task is difficult, but the man [Maigret] is just a decent man doing a very ordinary job.
Rowan Atkinson
The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd!
Rowan Atkinson
The Scarlet Pimpernel is the most over-rated human being since Judas Iscariot won the A.D.31 'Best Disciple' competition.
Rowan Atkinson
[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.
Rowan Atkinson
No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.
Rowan Atkinson
Nope, I don't enjoy work generally. Not because I'm lazy it's just all so stressful and worrying.
Rowan Atkinson
You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
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
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
I'm not a naturally funny man. I find that I can only be funny, if I become someone else.
Rowan Atkinson
