I had to smile when stories emerged questioning whether I was gay. Obviously I knew I wasn't but people were curiously desperate to suggest I was ... when you know a gay guy has a crush on you, it's the most flattering thing.

I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I'm enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor - it's my aspiration - so I want to do other films. I want to write something and I want to direct something!

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

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

Yes, gay marriage is about symbolically blessing a relationship, but the larger issue is about transmitting a fundamental message about equality. Gay people should have equality in law everywhere.

I'm into weird kind of, anything that resembles magical realism.
