I Would Never Wish To Say That

When I Was Doing Bean More Than I’ve Done Him In The Last Few Years, I Did Strange Things - Like Appearing On Chat Shows In Character As Mr. Bean.

[maigret] Is Terribly Self-contained, Not That I Would Ever Wish Him To Be Any More Comic, Particularly, But In The Second Film We've Made You See He's A Little More Ironic From Time To Time. But As I Say, That's Just Work In Progress.

I'm Not Looking For Anything Other Than An Interesting Role To Play.

What Directors Of Television Drama Constantly Tell You Is 'don't Act It. Don't Try. Don't Emphasise That Word'. Whereas With Someone Like Blackadder, Even Though He's A Relatively Low Key Character In A Way, He Did Relish The Lines That He Had And The Words That He Was Given, With A Lot Of Inflection.

It's A Bit Disconcerting Being Treated Like Madonna.
