To Be Successful You Don't

Funny Things Tend Not To Happen To Me. I Am Not A Natural Comic. I Need To Think About Things A Lot Before I Can Be Even Remotely Amusing.

[maigret] Is Terribly Self-contained, Not That I Would Ever Wish Him To Be Any More Comic, Particularly, But In The Second Film We've Made You See He's A Little More Ironic From Time To Time. But As I Say, That's Just Work In Progress.

Without Wanting To Claim That I'm Really Like James Bond I Would Certainly Prefer To Be Thought Of As Closer To James Bond Than Mr. Bean Most Definitely.

The Good Thing About Those Original Credit Card Commercials Was That They Were Very "filmic", They Were Like Little Movies, So It Wasn't A Big Step To Think Well Maybe We Could Make A Big Movie Using This Character, Which We Eventually Did.

My Personal Problem Is That I Take The Business Of Film-making So Seriously That I Find It Very Difficult To Relax.
