As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.

There's no shame in enjoying the quiet life.

I get constantly mistaken for Elijah Wood.

I played bass for a year, but I wasn't getting better at it, so I decided to stop so I could see my friends.

A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I'm not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It's not fun for me. There's nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.

I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'.

I'm never going to be in something as commercially successful as 'Harry Potter' ever again. It's impossible. So that gives me incredible freedom to go off and make the slightly off-the-wall films that I want to make.
