I would never be a television presenter. It's not something I could ever do.

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

I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.

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.

The Maigret stories are all very different in terms of the content and the way that the stories are told. They're not what I would call formulaic.

The decision to do it [play Maigret] was related to the fact that the character is a very ordinary man, and generally speaking I haven't played very many ordinary men.

I don't think you should be too absolutist about what you play and what you don't play.
