I feel like my evolution has come to a place where now I'm attached to Crazy Rich Asians.

My favorite phrase, that a friend of mine who worked on the Potter films and was a lot older than me would use in front of me, and I picked up from him many great phrases - the English have a lot of great idioms for sweating. I don't know why that is. But that's what we do. I feel like it's particularly our country; probably everywhere has a lot of idioms for sweating. He always said, "I'm sweating like a glassblower's asshole," which I always found an incredibly strange and yet vivid image.

I think being on a film set for such a long time made me a technical actor without realizing it.

I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.

[I] take inspiration from kids. ... They're very honest in how they act and how they are in the world.

A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.
