I Do Think I'm A Character Actor.

I Have Almost No Memory Of Them [st. Trinian's Films]. I Don't Think I've Seen Them Since I Was Quite Young. I Was A Bit Frightened Of The Girls. I Fancied Them. Even Though I Was Young, I Found Them Attractive And Rather Frightening. I've Always Been Attracted To Frightening Girls! I'm Married To One!

I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For The Craft, I Don't Know How Much Respect It Has For Me. But It's A Precision Process. Doing It On Stage Would Be, I Think, Terrifying. Doing It On Film Has Its Own Difficulties, Because Film Is Not Conducive To Spontaneity. You Might Have A Run Through And Get A Few Chuckles At Eight O'clock In The Morning, But You Don't Keep Laughing At The Same Thing All Day Long.

It Does Help To Actually Realize That However Stunning The Person Who Is, You Know, Fluttering Eyelashes At You, She Doesn't Do Anything To Match Up To Your Wife.

I'm Fully Aware That If I Were To Change Professions Tomorrow, Become An Astronaut And Be The First Man To Land On Mars, The Headlines In The Newspapers Would Read: `mr. Darcy Lands On Mars.

It Didn't Have To Be A Newfound Respect For The Craft, I Knew That It's Notoriously Difficult And Frightens A Lot Of People Off. I Don't Think Anyone Knows Quite Who To Attribute It To, But The Dying Actor Who Says: "dying Is Easy, Comedy Is Hard." I Hear It.
