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
Of course, some would say if you have a performing inclination, then you should become a lawyer. That's a platform we use, or a priest. You know, anywhere you lecture and pontificate to people.
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 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 think you're bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It's not something you often do in comedy.
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
I'm not a collector. I don't like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.
Rowan Atkinson
Nope, I don't enjoy work generally. Not because I'm lazy it's just all so stressful and worrying.
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

Rowan Atkinson
I consider myself more of a visual comedian than a physical one.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Rowan Atkinson
But, actually, so many of the clerics that I've met, particularly the Church of England clerics, are people of such extraordinary smugness and arrogance and conceitedness who are extraordinarily presumptuous about the significance of their position in society.
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
But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.
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
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've read about eight or ten of the original novels, and one of them is where Maigret's in bed for the entire story! His wife is running around and solving the case!
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
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
It's not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.
