I Think You're Bound To Get A

I Consider Myself More Of A Visual Comedian Than A Physical One.

The Decision To Do It [play Maigret] Was Related To The Fact That The Character Is A Very Ordinary Man, And Generally Speaking I Haven't Played Very Many Ordinary Men.

I Would Never Be A Television Presenter. It's Not Something I Could Ever Do.

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.

The Character [maigret] Is Bound To Change And Develop, And I Wouldn't Like To Claim That We Are Perfectly Formed Straight Out Of The Box. I Think It's What I'd Call An 'optimistic Start'. As You Know, For Me, No Glass Is Anything Other Than Half Empty, So I Apologise For My Reticence In Terms Of Promoting This Programme.
