Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
(Ben on whether he prefers to write, produce, act or direct) Ben Miller: Whichever one I'm doing at the time! I try and vary it a bit. And I feel I learn a lot about acting when I'm directing, and vice versa. I just love being involved in things that I think are good, whatever capacity it's in.
-
(on working with children in the Australian mockumentary "Razzle Dazzle".) Ben Miller: It was great fun, because their reactions are so natural and believable. Somehow I think we lose that immediate ability to enter a world of make-believe as we get older. And all the girls in the film are such fantastic dancers - they were always doing back flips and triple somersaults between takes.
-
(on the comparison between "Primeval" and "Doctor Who") Ben Miller: I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and have been all my life, but Doctor Who fans don't need to worry. They will enjoy this as much but it's a whole different experience. When you watch them you'll see that the two are not even remotely similar but I can see why people are trying to make a comparison.
