I didn't have that normal teenage period when you build up your friends in your area and you have a social circle.

I've worked every day since I was 10. I don't know how to do anything else. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing.

I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I've got energy to play football even though they'll be better than me by the time they're four.

Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.

I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.

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.

I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anyone else.
