It's The Demand In Many Ways Of Modern Television Drama - It's Very Low Key And Naturalistic, And, Generally Speaking, The Characters That I've Played Have Not Been Low Key And Naturalistic.

I Have A Problem With Porsches. They're Wonderful Cars, But I Know I Could Never Live With One. Somehow, The Typical Porsche People-and I Wish Them No Ill-are Not, I Feel, My Kind Of People. I Don't Go Around Saying That Porsches Are A Pile Of Dung, But I Do Know That Psychologically I Couldn't Handle Owning One.

I Love Both [johnny English And James Bond] Actually. The Action Sequences Are Really Exciting Because You're Getting To Work With Some Brilliant Crew And Do Some Great Stuff But You Always Get Some Magic When You're Working With Actors.

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.

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.
