It's the demand in many ways of modern television drama - it's very low key and naturalistic, and, generally speaking, the characters that I've played have not been low key and naturalistic.

More quotes by Rowan Atkinson
If you're a serious actor, it's when you know you're going to die tomorrow that you really start to feel it.
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 consider myself more of a visual comedian than a physical one.
Rowan Atkinson
I like to relish words and sentences, and phraseology, and there's not much facility for that [playing Maigret].
Rowan Atkinson
The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.
Rowan Atkinson
I can be reasonably funny and light-hearted when I'm in the company of good friends, but I'm not a jokesmith. I tend to be quite serious.
Rowan Atkinson
People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I'll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn't the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull person who just happens to be a performer.
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
I would never be a television presenter. It's not something I could ever do.
Rowan Atkinson
[Georges] Simenon could be very brave like that. You never quite know what you're going to get or how the story's going to be told.
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
The right to ridicule is far more important to society than any right not to be ridiculed because one in my view represents openness - and the other represents oppression.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Rowan Atkinson
Monty Python crowd half of them came from Cambridge, and half of them came from Oxford. But, there seems to be this jewel, this sort of two headed tradition of doing comedy, of doing sketches, and that kind of thing.
Rowan Atkinson
It's not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.
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 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
The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd!
Rowan Atkinson
Nope, I don't enjoy work generally. Not because I'm lazy it's just all so stressful and worrying.
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.
