Certainly in the second film [Maigret's Dead Man], which is quite a more unpleasant and darker story, it's quite different in tone and feel.

I have always worried about things more than I should.

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

The arts community still has a long lasting cynicism of the importance, or the artistic value, of comedy. Comedy is just farting about for money.

If you're a serious actor, it's when you know you're going to die tomorrow that you really start to feel it.

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

And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.
