I think in many ways Johnny English is a more believable character.

I tend to play rather odd men. People that are slightly odd or eccentric, or have a more particular attitude to life.

It was the challenge of that that I found daunting, but also engaging and interesting [to play Maigret].

To Be Successful You Don't Need Beautiful Face And Heroic Body, What You Need is Skillful Mind And Ability To Perform

But generally speaking, I tend to be quiet and introspective.

[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.

Look, if I'd wanted a lecture on the rights of man, I'd have gone to bed with Martin Luther.
