Mr.Bean Quote of the day: Me thinks Lucie subscribes to this one...lol
"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.
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."
