I know me, and I know that I'm not somebody that particularly merits a lot of screaming and shouting. And there's nothing special about me as opposed to hundreds of thousands of other people everywhere.

I'm very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you're allowed to tell Jewish jokes.

I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

It's almost a problem how much I enjoy my work.

I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot. I don't know if it's maybe from being on films that's often playing Harry [Potter] or I just think it's a natural thing that I have. It's something that I think about just because it's fascinating in a very alien kind of way.

I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.

And well historically it's never been a good thing to compare yourself to biblical characters.
