Marketing Is What Gets You Noticed.

Johnny English Is Someone Who Really Means Well It's Just That He's Not As Good As He Thinks He Is, And I Think That Maybe That's The British Male In A Nutshell.

People Think Because I Can Make Them Laugh On The Stage, I'll Be Able To Make Them Laugh In Person. That Isn't The Case At All. I Am Essentially A Rather Quiet, Dull Person Who Just Happens To Be A Performer.

It Was The Challenge Of That That I Found Daunting, But Also Engaging And Interesting [to Play Maigret].

I Think In Many Ways Johnny English Is A More Believable Character.

It Certainly Helps, I Think, With Some Actors To Understand The Process Of Acting. You See What Extraordinary Pressure They're Under, There's A Huge Circus Dedicated To A Particular Moment And They're Got To Deliver And It Can Help That You, Even If Empathetically Alone, Understand What They're Doing.
