I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. Im not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And Im certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions. – Rowan Atkinson
Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression. – Rowan Atkinson
I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the 50s and 60s. The seed of my interest was planted when I was about 12 years old and took over my mothers Morris Minor. I drove it around my fathers farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1, which I have had for 10 years. – Rowan Atkinson

Womens humor seems to be a little more supportive. Its just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like Im going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys. – Paul Feig
