More quotes by 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
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
Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something - this side of it, if you like, doing interviews - is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.
Rowan Atkinson
Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks. Thou art indeed an all-round family entertainer.
Rowan Atkinson
[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Rowan Atkinson
I'm not a collector. I don't like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.

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.
