A hero is also someone who, in their day to day interactions with the world, despite all the pain, uncertainty and doubt that can plague us, is resiliently and unashamedly themselves. If you can wake up every day and be emotionally open and honest regardless of what you get back from the world then you can be the hero of your own story. Each and every person who can say that despite life’s various buffetings that they are proud to be the person they are is a hero.

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.

It's important to say that the more challenging a scene is, in a way, the more fun it is because the more of my job I get to do.

You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.

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

I'll miss some of the opportunities that playing Harry [Potter] brought me.

If you like the book, you'll hate the movie.
