The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.

A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.

Parts win prizes, not actors.

The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'

I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
