On 'Death In Paradise,' I had a CGI pet lizard and had to react to nothing, which was hideously embarrassing.

As an actor, it's good to try to do new things, I think.

All men in their 40s want to be in rock bands, and I reserve the right to be in a pub band at some point.
Ben Miller -
I have always played a slightly ineffectual, bumbly, nice guy.
Ben Miller -
I'd rather sink with a bad theory than swim with muddy pragmatism.
Ben Miller -
I'd like to see the argument made for greater worldwide federalism, not just the European Union.
Ben Miller -
'Death In Paradise' is my dream job - a fascinating character, great scripts, superb cast, and shooting in the Caribbean with French catering.
Ben Miller -
I get frustrated with films that entertain me but ultimately dodge a moral question about how you should try and live.

I've always loved science, but I was never going to make much of a contribution. I'm better off having science as a hobby.
Ben Miller -
Things like 'The Office,' and arguably shows like 'The Only Way Is Essex,' are comedies, just using real people in real situations.
Ben Miller -
I don't think you get a lot of comedians who are homeopaths. Comedy is essentially about not being hoodwinked.
Ben Miller -
There are practical things which contribute to a joke's funniness. People will find a joke funnier if they are sitting closer together, if it's cold, if they've paid and if they are told it's funny beforehand.
Ben Miller -
I studied physics at university, and I'm still a sucker for an experiment or scientific theory.
Ben Miller -
I'd probably be one of these terribly over-protective parents whose children become a neurotic wreck because they've never been exposed to real life.

Science was always a passion, but I also loved 'Monty Python' and 'The Young Ones,' and I discovered the Footlights comedy club at university, where a lot of those people got their start. I had a go and loved it immediately. After that, I just couldn't stop writing sketches, and it all took off from there.
Ben Miller -
I'd like to have a neck. Everyone else has a neck, but I never got one; I don't know what happened. I'm not asking for much: just some sort of separation between my head and my body would be great.
Ben Miller -
I've turned down all sorts of good things accidentally, too. I read the script for 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' and thought, 'This makes no sense.' Then I went to the cinema to see it. Well, what an idiot.
Ben Miller -
I'm one of those people that read a newspaper.
Ben Miller -
I've never really had a plan. You never know what's going to happen.
Ben Miller -
I live a pretty sedentary life, usually. I'm not an action man at all.
Ben Miller
-
Much as I respect Russell Brand's point of view, I'm in the opposite camp to him about voting. I think it's enormously important to engage with the electoral process.
Ben Miller -
My theory about comedians is that their greatest fear is other people laughing at them. So comedy is an attempt to control and manipulate the thing they find most frightening.
Ben Miller -
I can be indecisive about things - and the less important something is, the more indecisive I am.
Ben Miller -
You meet every different kind of possible person from different ethnic and cultural background, and after you while, you realise it's all just people, isn't it?
