I am no longer young, but the years have taught me wisdom
--Rowan Atkinson, Agent Bean
A lot of people think I can make them laugh on stage, I can make them laugh in reality. That's not the case at all. I was supposed to be a fairly quiet, even a little boring, but just happened to be an actor.

I just want to tell you that he has a wife and plans to have a child. Even if he's just a small person, can only make small bets, wins very little money, he will live more successfully than you.

—Rowan Atkinson, The Dead of Megre
