मैं कभी यह नहीं कहना चाहूंगा कि मैंने आखिरकार किसी किरदार को हमेशा के लिए अलविदा कह दिया है, बस बात यह है कि प्राथमिकताएं अक्सर बदलती रहती हैं।
I would never wish to say that I've finally waved goodbye to any character, it's just that the emphasis tends to shift.

एक बात जो मैं कभी नहीं चाहूंगा कि लोग ऐसा सोचें, वह यह है कि आप गंभीर भूमिकाएं इसलिए निभाते हैं ताकि आपको एक ऐसा सम्मान मिल सके जो कॉमेडी भूमिकाएं निभाने से नहीं मिलता।
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.

किसी व्यक्ति की जाति के आधार पर उसकी आलोचना करना पूरी तरह से अतार्किक और हास्यास्पद है। लेकिन उनके धर्म की आलोचना करना - यह एक अधिकार है। यह एक स्वतंत्रता है।
To criticise a person for their race is a manifestly irrational and ridiculous. But to criticise their religion - that is a right. That is a freedom.

मुझे 50 और 60 के दशक की पुरानी ऐतिहासिक रेसिंग कारों को चलाना बहुत पसंद है। इस शौक की शुरुआत तब हुई थी जब मैं लगभग 12 साल का था और मैंने अपनी माँ की मॉरिस माइनर कार को अपने कब्जे में ले लिया था। मैंने उसे अपने पिता के फार्म पर चलाया था। लेकिन मेरी पसंदीदा कार आज भी मैकलारेन F1 (McLaren F1) है, जो पिछले 10 वर्षों से मेरे पास है।
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 mother's Morris Minor. I drove it around my father's farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1, which I have had for 10 years.

लेकिन सच कहूँ तो, मैंने जितने भी पादरियों से मुलाकात की है, खासकर चर्च ऑफ इंग्लैंड के पादरियों से, वे ऐसे लोग हैं जो गजब के अहंकारी, घमंडी और अपनी ही धुन में रहने वाले होते हैं, और समाज में अपने रुतबे को लेकर हद दर्जे के ढीठ और आत्म-संतुष्ट होते हैं।
But, actually, so many of the clerics that I've met, particularly the Church of England clerics, are people of such extraordinary smugness and arrogance and conceitedness who are extraordinarily presumptuous about the significance of their position in society.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि आपको इस बात को लेकर बहुत कट्टर होना चाहिए कि आपको क्या भूमिकाएं निभानी चाहिए और क्या नहीं।

इसे सही करिए - अगर आप गुणवत्ता को सही कर लेते हैं, तो उसकी बिक्री या जो भी हो; आपके वीडियो बेचने की क्षमता या पैसे कमाने की क्षमता अपने आप बन जाएगी। लेकिन बाजार के पीछे भागने के बजाय अपनी रचनात्मकता के आधार पर आगे बढ़ें। और यह मेरे लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।
Get that right, then- if you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever; your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally. But try to be creatively lead rather than market lead. And that's important to me.

यह किरदार [मैग्रेट] निश्चित रूप से बदलेगा और विकसित होगा, और मैं यह दावा नहीं करना चाहूंगा कि हम शुरुआत से ही एकदम परफेक्ट थे। मुझे लगता है कि यह एक 'आशाजनक शुरुआत' है। जैसा कि आप जानते हैं, मेरे लिए तो कांच हमेशा आधा खाली ही रहता है, इसलिए इस शो के प्रचार के मामले में मेरी झिझक के लिए मैं माफी चाहता हूँ।
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.

कला जगत में आज भी कॉमेडी के महत्व या उसकी कलात्मक वैल्यू को लेकर एक पुराना और गहरा अविश्वास बना हुआ है। कॉमेडी को बस पैसे कमाने के लिए की जाने वाली फालतू की हरकतें माना जाता है।

मेरा हमेशा से यह मानना रहा है कि ऐसा कोई विषय नहीं होना चाहिए जिस पर मजाक न बनाया जा सके, जिसमें धर्म भी शामिल है। जाहिर है, इंसान हमेशा समकालीन चलन और रूझानों से बंधा होता है क्योंकि आखिरकार, जो चीज आप सबसे ज्यादा चाहते हैं, वह है एक ऐसा दर्शक वर्ग जो आपकी कला की सराहना करे।
I have always believed that there should be no subject about which one cannot make jokes, religion included. Clearly, one is always constricted by contemporary mores and trends because, after all, what one seeks above all is an appreciative audience.

सच कहूं तो मुझे दोनों ही [जॉनी इंग्लिश और जेम्स बॉन्ड] बहुत पसंद हैं। एक्शन सीक्वेंस वाकई रोमांचक होते हैं क्योंकि आपको कुछ शानदार क्रू के साथ काम करने और बेहतरीन स्टंट करने का मौका मिलता है, लेकिन जब आप अन्य अभिनेताओं के साथ काम करते हैं तो आपको हमेशा कुछ जादुई अनुभव मिलता है।
I love both [Johnny English and James Bond] actually. The action sequences are really exciting because you're getting to work with some brilliant crew and do some great stuff but you always get some magic when you're working with actors.

जॉनी इंग्लिश एक ऐसा इंसान है जिसकी नीयत हमेशा साफ होती है, बस दिक्कत यह है कि वह खुद को जितना समझता है, उतना काबिल वह है नहीं, और मुझे लगता है कि शायद यही बात संक्षेप में एक ब्रिटिश पुरुष की असलियत है।
Johnny English is someone who really means well it's just that he's not as good as he thinks he is, and I think that maybe that's the British male in a nutshell.

जहाँ तक मेरा सवाल है, जब आप कोई गंभीर भूमिका निभाते हैं, तो मुझे महसूस होता है कि आप उसी कौशल का उपयोग कर रहे हैं—चाहे वह कोई भी हो—जो आप किसी स्पष्ट रूप से हास्य भूमिका में करते हैं। इसमें थोड़ी अलग मांसपेशियों का इस्तेमाल होता है, लेकिन कौशल वही रहता है।
When you play a serious role, as far as I'm concerned, I feel I'm using exactly the same skills, whatever they are, to play the role as you do with something more obviously comic. It's slightly different muscles, but the same skill set.

मुझे अचानक यह अहसास हुआ कि अभिनय का पेशा एक कठिन काम है। यह उतना हल्का-फुल्का, फालतू और उथला क्षेत्र नहीं है जितना मैं अस्सी के दशक में इसे समझता था।
I suddenly think the job of acting is a difficult one. It's not as flip, irrelevant and shallow a calling as I thought it was in the Eighties.

स्टेडियम में मौजूद भीड़ के सामने, आप उनकी आँखों की पुतलियाँ नहीं देख पा रहे होते हैं। वह सिर्फ आवाज़ों का एक मिला-जुला शोर होता है, और ज़ाहिर है कि आप घर पर बैठे उन तथाकथित अरबों लोगों को भी नहीं देख सकते, इसलिए आपके डरने या घबराने की गुंजाइश बहुत कम होती है।

मेरी व्यक्तिगत समस्या यह है कि मैं फिल्म निर्माण के काम को इतनी गंभीरता से लेता हूँ कि मेरे लिए रिलैक्स होना बहुत मुश्किल हो जाता है।
My personal problem is that I take the business of film-making so seriously that I find it very difficult to relax.

मैं अक्सर थोड़े अजीब किस्म के आदमियों के किरदार निभाता हूँ। ऐसे लोग जो थोड़े विचित्र याeccentric (सनकी) होते हैं, या जीवन को लेकर जिनका एक अलग ही नज़रिया होता है।

सच कहें तो, मिस्टर बीन के साथ हमें भी यही मुश्किल आई थी, जब वह टीवी से फिल्मों में गया था। आप निश्चित रूप से यह महसूस करते हैं कि आपको किसी किरदार के बारे में दर्शकों को और ज्यादा समझाने की जरूरत है।
It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

'मैग्रेट' (Maigret) का किरदार निभाने का फैसला इस बात से जुड़ा था कि यह किरदार एक बेहद आम इंसान का है, और आम तौर पर मैंने बहुत ज्यादा आम इंसानों के किरदार नहीं निभाए हैं।
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.

नौकरी दिलचस्प है और काम मुश्किल, लेकिन वह आदमी [मैग्रे] बस एक सीधा-साधा इंसान है जो एक बहुत ही साधारण काम कर रहा है।

[मैग्रे सेट्स ए ट्रैप] हमेशा से पहली फिल्म बनने वाली थी, और यह काफी अच्छी कहानी लग रही थी। लेकिन इसका मतलब यह था कि यहाँ मैं इस नए किरदार को पहली बार निभा रहा था, एक ऐसी जगह पर जहाँ वह एक तरह से असफल साबित हुआ था, क्योंकि इन सभी लोगों की हत्या कर दी गई थी और दबाव बहुत अधिक था। आग के सामने अपनी पाइप सुलगाते हुए आशावादी शुरुआत करने के बजाय, वह काफी मुश्किल स्थिति में था।
[Maigret Sets a Trap] was always going to be the first film, and it seemed to be quite a nice story. But of course it meant that here I was playing this new character for the first time, in a place where he had been a relative failure, as all these people had been murdered and the pressure was on. Rather than starting optimistically with his pipe in front of the fireplace, he was in quite a difficult place.

50 के दशक के मध्य का पेरिस एक बहुत ही दिलचस्प जगह थी। यह थर्ड रीच के जाने के केवल दस साल बाद का समय था, और शहर बंदूकों, अपराध, अवैध वसूली और फ्रांसीसी इतिहास के एक बहुत ही कठिन समय के तमाम अवशेषों से भरा हुआ था। इसलिए पुलिसकर्मी होने के लिए यह एक दिलचस्प समय है।
Paris in the mid-'50s was a very interesting place. It was only ten years after the Third Reich had left, and the city was awash with guns, and crime, and racketeering, and all sorts of hangovers from a very difficult time in French history. So it's an interesting time to be a policeman.

टेलीविजन नाटक के निर्देशक आपको लगातार यही कहते हैं कि 'अभिनय मत करो। कोशिश मत करो। उस शब्द पर जोर मत देना।' जबकि ब्लैकएडर जैसे किरदार के साथ, भले ही वह एक तरह से अपेक्षाकृत शांत स्वभाव का किरदार हो, उसने अपने संवादों और दिए गए शब्दों का बहुत उतार-चढ़ाव के साथ आनंद लिया।
What directors of television drama constantly tell you is 'Don't act it. Don't try. Don't emphasise that word'. Whereas with someone like Blackadder, even though he's a relatively low key character in a way, he did relish the lines that he had and the words that he was given, with a lot of inflection.

मुझे लगता है कि अभिनय की प्रक्रिया को समझना कुछ अभिनेताओं के लिए निश्चित रूप से मददगार होता है। आप देखते हैं कि वे किस असाधारण दबाव में हैं, किसी खास पल के लिए एक बड़ा तामझाम होता है और उन्हें अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देना होता है और इससे यह मदद मिल सकती है कि आप, भले ही सहानुभूतिपूर्वक अकेले हों, समझ सकें कि वे क्या कर रहे हैं।
It certainly helps, I think, with some actors to understand the process of acting. You see what extraordinary pressure they're under, there's a huge circus dedicated to a particular moment and they're got to deliver and it can help that you, even if empathetically alone, understand what they're doing.

हमने [मैग्रे पर] कोई विशेष निर्णय नहीं लिया है, मुझसे यह नहीं पूछा गया है कि क्या मैं इसे जारी रखना चाहता हूँ। ये सारी चीजें इस बात पर निर्भर करती हैं कि क्या आपको लगता है कि विचार विकसित हो रहा है और क्या इसे निभाना अभी भी दिलचस्प है।
We haven't made any particular decision [on Maigret], I haven't been asked if I want to carry on with it. All these things are a matter of whether you feel as though the idea is developing and whether it's still interesting to play.

मोंटी पायथन मंडली; उनमें से आधे कैम्ब्रिज से आए थे, और आधे ऑक्सफोर्ड से। लेकिन, कॉमेडी करने, स्केच करने और उस तरह की चीजें करने की यह एक अनमोल, दो-धारी परंपरा सी लगती है।

[मैग्रे] बेहद अंतर्मुखी है, ऐसा नहीं है कि मैं कभी चाहूँ कि वह और अधिक कॉमिक बने, खासकर, लेकिन दूसरी फिल्म में जो हमने बनाई है, आप देखते हैं कि वह समय-समय पर थोड़ा अधिक व्यंग्यात्मक है। लेकिन जैसा कि मैंने कहा, यह सिर्फ प्रगति पर काम है।
[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.

मुझे शब्दों, वाक्यों और शब्दावली का आनंद लेना पसंद है, और [मैग्रे की भूमिका निभाते समय] इसकी बहुत अधिक सुविधा नहीं है।

निश्चित रूप से दूसरी फिल्म [मैग्रेज़ डेड मैन] में, जो कि काफी अप्रिय और अधिक गंभीर कहानी है, इसका लहजा और अहसास काफी अलग है।
Certainly in the second film [Maigret's Dead Man], which is quite a more unpleasant and darker story, it's quite different in tone and feel.

मुझे हमेशा से 'डॉक्टर जिवागो' की एक शैली पसंद थी, जहाँ स्क्रीन पर लिखी जाने हर चीज़ रूसी में होती है लेकिन हर कोई अंग्रेजी बोलता है। मुझे लगा कि यह अपनाने के लिए काफी अच्छी शैली है।
One of the conventions that I always liked was Doctor Zhivago, where everything that's written on the screen is in Russian but everyone speaks English. That seemed to me to be quite a good convention to follow.

मुझे यकीन है कि इस [मैग्रे श्रृंखला] का एक फ्रांसीसी निर्माण अलग होगा। अच्छे के लिए या बुरे के लिए, कौन कह सकता है, लेकिन शायद ITV पर रात 8 बजे के लिए बहुत अच्छा नहीं होगा।
I'm sure that a French production of this [Maigret series] would be different. For better or worse, who's to say, but probably not very good for 8 o'clock on ITV.

टीवी में, और विशेष रूप से विज्ञापनों में, आपको वास्तव में बहुत अधिक समझाने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है - आप बस यह कहते हैं कि वह एक जासूस है और वह थोड़ा नाटकीय और दिखावटी और आत्मसंतुष्ट है और वह अपने काम में बहुत अच्छा नहीं है।
In TV, and in particular in commercials, you don't really need to explain very much at all - you just say he's a spy and he's a little bit theatrical and overblown and smug and he's not very good at his job.

नहीं, नहीं, मैं वास्तव में केवल मंच पर ही मजाकिया था। मुझे लगता है कि जब मैं बहुत छोटा था, तब मैं अपने सहपाठियों के प्रति एक व्यक्ति के रूप में मजाकिया था। आप जानते हैं, जब मैं एक बच्चा था, लगभग 12 वर्ष की आयु तक।

मार्केटिंग वह है जो आपको चर्चा में लाती है, और इसका वह पहलू - इस तरफ का पहलू, यदि आप चाहें, तो साक्षात्कार देना - वह पहलू है जिसका मैं सबसे कम आनंद लेता हूँ, और फिर भी यह परियोजना का 50% हिस्सा है।

अंग्रेजी टेलीविजन में आज भी एक परंपरा है; पिछले पाँच वर्षों में यह थोड़ी कम हुई है, लेकिन हमारे यहाँ अभी भी एक ऐसी परंपरा है जहाँ महत्वपूर्ण बात कार्यक्रमों की गुणवत्ता और उनकी चुनौतीपूर्ण प्रकृति है।

उन मूल क्रेडिट कार्ड विज्ञापनों के बारे में अच्छी बात यह थी कि वे बहुत "सिनेमैटिक" थे, वे छोटी फिल्मों की तरह थे, इसलिए यह सोचना कोई बड़ा कदम नहीं था कि शायद हम इस किरदार का उपयोग करके एक बड़ी फिल्म बना सकते हैं, जो हमने अंततः किया।
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.

ITV और प्रोडक्शन कंपनी ने मुझसे संपर्क किया और पूछा कि क्या मैं [मैग्रे की] भूमिका निभाने के लिए उत्सुक हूँ। इसे करने का निर्णय लेने में मुझे काफी समय लगा। वास्तव में, मैंने न कर दिया था। मैंने इसके बारे में कई हफ्तों तक सोचा, और सोचा 'शायद नहीं' और यह थोड़ी देर के लिए टल गया, और फिर यह वापस आ गया। उन्होंने कहा 'क्या आपको यकीन है कि आप उसे नहीं निभाना चाहते?', इसलिए मैंने इसके बारे में फिर से काफी लंबे समय तक सोचा, और अंत में फैसला किया कि मैं करूँगा।
ITV and the production company contacted me and asked if I fancied playing the role [of Maigret]. It took me a long time to decide to do it. In fact, I decided not to. I thought about it for some weeks, and thought 'perhaps not' and it went away for a while, and then it sort of came back. They said 'Are you sure you don't want to play him?', so I thought about it for a lot longer again, and eventually decided that I would.

मैग्रे के साथ समस्या यह है कि वह लंगड़ाता नहीं है, और उसे तुतलाने की आदत नहीं है, और उसका कोई फ्रांसीसी लहजा नहीं है, या ओपेरा के प्रति कोई विशेष प्रेम नहीं है... या वे सभी अन्य चीजें जो लोग कई काल्पनिक जासूसों के साथ जोड़ना पसंद करते हैं। वह एक बहुत ही दिलचस्प समय में एक असाधारण काम करने वाला एक साधारण आदमी है।
The problem with Maigret is he hasn't got a limp, and he hasn't got a lisp, and he hasn't got a French accent, or a particular love of opera... or all those other things that people tend to attach to many fictional detectives. He's just an ordinary guy doing an extraordinary job, in a very interesting time.

[मैग्रे की भूमिका निभाना] मुझे चुनौतीपूर्ण लगा, लेकिन साथ ही आकर्षक और दिलचस्प भी लगा।
It was the challenge of that that I found daunting, but also engaging and interesting [to play Maigret].

यह आधुनिक टेलीविजन नाटक की कई मायनों में माँग है - यह बहुत शांत और स्वाभाविक है, और, आम तौर पर कहें तो, जो किरदार मैंने निभाए हैं वे शांत और स्वाभाविक नहीं रहे हैं।
It's the demand in many ways of modern television drama - it's very low key and naturalistic, and, generally speaking, the characters that I've played have not been low key and naturalistic.

यह बहुत सीधी कहानी कहने की शैली है, और मुझे लगता है कि अब यह उतना चलन में नहीं है। मैं परसों रात एक नया ड्रामा देख रहा था जो बेहद गैर-रेखीय (non-linear) था, जहाँ आप फ्लैशबैक और फ्लैशफॉरवर्ड (अतीत और भविष्य के दृश्यों) में इस तरह जाते हैं कि दर्शक के तौर पर आप हमेशा सतर्क रहते हैं। हमारी मैग्रे फिल्म में कहानी कहने में इस तरह का साहस नहीं है।
It is very linear storytelling, and I think that's not so much the fashion. I was watching a new drama the other night which was extremely non-linear, where you flash back and flash forward in ways that certainly keeps you on your toes as the audience. There's not much of that courage with the storytelling in our Maigret film.

फिल्मंकन के पहले कुछ हफ्ते मेरे लिए इस किरदार [मैग्रे] के साथ तालमेल बिठाने के लिए काफी मुश्किल थे, और जिस कहानी को हम बयां कर रहे थे, उसने भी इसमें कोई मदद नहीं की।
The first couple of weeks of filming were quite tricky for me to find my feet with the character [Maigret], which wasn't helped by the story that we were telling.

मैंने मूल उपन्यासों में से लगभग आठ या दस पढ़े हैं, और उनमें से एक ऐसा है जहाँ मैग्रे पूरी कहानी के दौरान बिस्तर पर रहता है! उसकी पत्नी इधर-उधर दौड़ती है और मामला सुलझाती है!
I've read about eight or ten of the original novels, and one of them is where Maigret's in bed for the entire story! His wife is running around and solving the case!

यद्यपि इस [किरदार] के बारे में सबसे बड़ी निराशा इस बात की है कि एक चीज़ है जो मैग्रे कभी नहीं करता, और वह है गाड़ी चलाना। उसे हमेशा गाड़ी से ले जाया जाता है, या वह ट्रेन लेता है, या वह बस पकड़ता है। मैं कह रहा था 'खैर, क्यों न हम 21वीं सदी के लिए कुछ नया करें, और उसे कार में बिठा दें?' [कार्यकारी निर्माता और लेखक के बेटे, जॉन सिमेनन] ने कहा, 'खैर, अगर आप चाहें तो आप कर सकते हैं, लेकिन ऐसे कई लोग होंगे जिन्हें यह पसंद नहीं आएगा।' इसलिए वह गाड़ी नहीं चलाता है... लेकिन नहीं, टॉप गियर मेरे लिए कभी कोई विचार नहीं था; और न ही मुझसे इसके लिए पूछा गया था।
Although the great frustration about this [role] is the fact that there's one thing Maigret never does, and that's drive. He's always driven, or he takes the train, or he gets the bus. I was saying 'Well, why don't we ring the changes for the 21st Century, and stick him in the car?'. [Executive Producer and son of the author, John Simenon] said, 'Well, you can if you want, but there'll be lots of people who won't like it'. So he's a non-driver ... But no, Top Gear was never a consideration for me; and neither was I asked

फिलहाल, मैं निश्चित रूप से 'फिर कभी नहीं' के बारे में नहीं सोच रहा हूँ, लेकिन न ही मैं यह सोच रहा हूँ कि 'मैं उस भूमिका को फिर से निभाने के लिए इंतजार नहीं कर सकता।' मैं दोनों के बीच में कहीं हूँ।
At the moment, I'm certainly not thinking 'never again', but neither am I thinking 'I can't wait to play that part again'. I'm somewhere in between.

यह एक तरह का उतार-चढ़ाव रहित अभिनय [मैग्रे की भूमिका निभाना] है, और मुझे वास्तव में यकीन नहीं था कि मैं इसे कर सकता हूँ या नहीं - आप खुद तय करें कि मैं सफल हुआ हूँ या नहीं। लेकिन हाँ, जब हम शूटिंग कर रहे थे तो मुझे यह मुश्किल लगा; चिंता न करने की आदत डालने में - उन संवादों को डिलीवर करने का तरीका खोजने में - मुझे कुछ हफ्ते लग गए, इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि महीनों पहले की मेरी चिंताएँ उचित थीं। मुझे यह जीने का एक कठिन तरीका लगा।
This is sort of inflection-free acting [playing Maigret], and I really wasn't sure if I could do it - you make your mind up on whether I've succeeded or not. But yes, I found it difficult when we were shooting; it was a couple of weeks before I settled into not worrying - to finding a way of delivering those lines - so my worries of many months before I think had been justified. I found it a difficult way of being.

[मैग्रे] अधिक अंतर्मुखी है। मुझे लगता है कि अगर हम इनमें से और फिल्में बनाते हैं तो शायद मैं उसे थोड़ा खुलकर सामने आने दूँ।
[Maigret] is more internal. I think if we made more of these I might let him out a bit.

लेकिन मुझे हमेशा ऐसा महसूस होता है कि मैं चाहे जो भी करूँ, उसे और बेहतर कर सकता था। शायद यह मेरी पूर्णतावादी (परफेक्शनिस्ट) प्रवृत्ति है।

किसी व्यक्ति की नस्ल के आधार पर उसकी आलोचना करना स्पष्ट रूप से तर्कहीन और हास्यास्पद है, लेकिन उसके धर्म की आलोचना करना, यह उसका अधिकार है। यह एक स्वतंत्रता है। विचारों की आलोचना करने की स्वतंत्रता - किसी भी विचार की - भले ही वे पूरी तरह से माने गए विश्वास ही क्यों न हों - समाज की मौलिक स्वतंत्रताओं में से एक है। एक ऐसा कानून जो यह कहने की कोशिश करता है कि आप विचारों की आलोचना और उपहास कर सकते हैं, बशर्ते वे धार्मिक विचार न हों, वास्तव में एक बहुत ही अजीब कानून है।
To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.

अपमान को गैर-कानूनी घोषित करने की स्पष्ट समस्या यह है कि बहुत सी चीज़ों को अपमान के रूप में समझा जा सकता है। आलोचना, उपहास, व्यंग्य, या बस स्थापित मान्यताओं के विपरीत अपना दृष्टिकोण रखना भी अपमान के रूप में लिया जा सकता है।
The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.

लोगों को लगता है कि चूँकि मैं उन्हें मंच पर हँसा सकता हूँ, इसलिए मैं व्यक्तिगत रूप से भी उन्हें हँसा सकूँगा। ऐसा बिल्कुल नहीं है। मैं असल में एक शांत, उबाऊ इंसान हूँ, जो इत्तेफाक से एक कलाकार भी है।
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.

समाज के लिए उपहास का पात्र न बनने के अधिकार की तुलना में उपहास उड़ाने का अधिकार कहीं अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि मेरे विचार से एक खुलापन का प्रतीक है - और दूसरा उत्पीड़न का।
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.

मुझे पोर्श गाड़ियों से थोड़ी दिक्कत है। वे शानदार कारें हैं, लेकिन मैं जानता हूँ कि मैं उनके साथ कभी नहीं रह पा रहा सकता। किसी तरह, आम पोर्श वाले लोग - और मैं उनके लिए कोई बुरी भावना नहीं रखता - मुझे लगता है कि मेरी पसंद के लोग नहीं हैं। मैं यह नहीं घूमता कि पोर्श कबाड़ है, लेकिन मैं इतना जरूर जानता हूँ कि मनोवैज्ञानिक रूप से मैं इसका मालिक होने का बोझ नहीं संभाल सकता।

मेरी ऐसी कोई इच्छा नहीं है कि मैं उच्च वर्ग के आवारा लोगों के साथ समय बिताऊँ, बीस मिनट काम करूँ और फिर दिन का बाकी बचा समय पेरिस में गलियों में घूमते हुए, गैलन भर शैंपेन पीते हुए और दर्जनों ऐसी युवा, गोरी, अत्यधिक अनुभवी फ्रांसीसी युवतियों के साथ बिताऊँ जो मेरे आस-पास... एक मिनट, रुको।

चूंकि मैंने अपने करियर का एक बड़ा हिस्सा अपनी खुद की ईसाई पृष्ठभूमि से धार्मिक हस्तियों की नकल करने में बिताया है, इसलिए मैं इस विचार से सन्न हूँ कि किसी धर्म की खिल्ली उड़ाना या धार्मिक हस्तियों का मजाक बनाना प्रभावी रूप से गैरकानूनी बनाया जा सकता है।

मुझे लगता है कि मेरे भीतर यह आत्मविश्वास है कि मेरी पसंद काफी सरल है, और जो मुझे मजेदार लगता है, उसे एक बहुत बड़ा दर्शक वर्ग पसंद करता हूँ। मैं अपनी रचनात्मक प्रवृत्ति के मामले में कोई बहुत ज्यादा बौद्धिक, समझदार या किसी खास वर्ग पर केंद्रित नहीं हूँ। और मुझे यह बिल्कुल नहीं लगता कि मैं अपनी किसी और अधिक परिष्कृत महत्वाकांक्षाओं को दबा रहा हूँ।

इस बात को छोड़ दें कि आपकी शारीरिक क्षमता कम होने लगती है, मुझे यह भी लगता है कि पचास की उम्र में बचकानी हरकतें करना थोड़ा अजीब और दुखद हो जाता है। आपको थोड़ा संभलकर रहना होगा।
