    • Peter: (about his role in the film, "Bean") I play the person who exists to have his life destroyed by Mr. Bean. My character happens to be the curator of a heavily endowed art museum. But he's actually just the picnic to which Mr. Bean brings the ptomaine and salmonella.
    • Peter: Acting is about covering up traces of who you are and just being the character. I think it's easier to accept people in roles if you don't know a lot about them.
    • Peter: (On the movie 'Breakin' All the Rules', which he starred in) This movie is a romantic comedy but very old-fashioned in its structure, very classical and elegant. It's a throw-back feeling to movies of another era, complete with mistaken identities and smart wit. That's what drew me to this project. It was really the script.
