“The one thing I would never wish it to be thought is that you play serious roles in order to achieve some sort of respectability which you can’t if you’re playing comedic roles.”

I find his films about as funny as getting an arrow through the neck and discovering there’s a gas bill tied to it.

I am not really single, I am dating my self , I take my self out to eat, I buy myself clothes, I love me, I’m awesome.

I’m not a naturally funny man. I find that I can only be funny, if I become someone else.

I mean I can do it when I’m very relaxed, and with good friends, then I think I can be amusing.

The right to ridicule is far more important to society than any right not to be ridiculed because one in my view represents openness – and the other represents oppression.

Sometimes I don’t feel like going to work but then I remember I was born cute not rich.

The older you get, the more you realise how happenstance has helped to determine your path through life.

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.

I’m as poor as a church mouse, that’s just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese.

I’m not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.

The job is interesting, and the task is difficult, but the man is just a decent man doing a very ordinary job.

I’m not a collector. I don’t like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.

I consider myself more of a visual comedian than a physical one.

I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.

Mr. Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this bizarre global outreach.

I have always worried about things more than I should.

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

In the end, it is the person you become, not the things you have achieved, that is the most important.

We’d achieve more if we chase the dream instead of the competition.

I love the success of my teammates more than my individual achievements.

Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.

The restart was different but we achieved our goal.

The greatest invention in the world is the mind of a child.
