If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

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.

I'm a lot less serious than people think.

I am the character you are not supposed to like.

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.

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

I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
