| 1 | The more success you have, the more pressure you feel to make things to a good standard, for movies you make to make money and that sort of thing. One misses those days when you were 19 or 23 and you just did what made you laugh. What you and your friends thought was funny. And you did it, and if they laughed, great, and if they didn’t, it didn’t matter. As you get older you always think about everything so much, you’re so concerned that what you do should be good and should be successful that it’s the success you’re pursuing rather than the fun of doing it, which is what’s so great when you’re younger… What’s difficult for me on a movie is not playing Mr. Bean. The problem is the scripts. The problem is the shaping of the shots. The problem is the editing. The problem is all those things. |
| 2 | I definitely do not have the wit of Blackadder. I definitely require scriptwriters to provide that. And I don’t think I’m as dark or cynical as Blackadder is in his view of the world. Probably I’m somewhere in between but closer to Mr. Bean. You know, the nice bits of Mr. Bean, because Mr. Bean has a very vindictive and selfish and nasty side to him. I hope I don’t have too much of that. |

In 1989, we put him on TV and no doubt the motivation was a belief that we had a character that could live in other markets and other countries. I was always envious of the fact that so many British musical artists in the late eighties, Phil Collins or David Bowie or Duran Duran or someone like that, assumed an international marketplace for their product, whereas British comedians don’t. And I thought we have a tool here that will enable us to do that. |
| 5 | [preparing to perform onstage the title role in Simon Gray’s ‘Quartermaine’s Terms’] It’s well known that tragedy and comedy are close bedfellows. It’s rare, though, that you see them placed in such intimacy. Like most tragic figures,
