The Character [maigret] Is Bound To Change

In Tv, And In Particular In Commercials, You Don't Really Need To Explain Very Much At All - You Just Say He's A Spy And He's A Little Bit Theatrical And Overblown And Smug And He's Not Very Good At His Job.

I'm More Critical Of The Films I Make Than Anyone Else.

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.

The One Thing I Would Never Wish It To Be Thought Is That You Play Serious Roles In Order To Achieve Some Sort Of Respectability Which You Can't If You're Playing Comedic Roles.

It Is Very Linear Storytelling, And I Think That's Not So Much The Fashion. I Was Watching A New Drama The Other Night Which Was Extremely Non-linear, Where You Flash Back And Flash Forward In Ways That Certainly Keeps You On Your Toes As The Audience. There's Not Much Of That Courage With The Storytelling In Our Maigret Film.
