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.

Some people think I am gay, which I think is awesome.

Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself.

There's a lot of work that needs to be done, and there's a difference between talking the talk and walking the walk.

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

Once Now You See Me proved that that tone could work, which I'm sure was a nightmare for them in post - is this too serious? Do we have to say that magic really does exist or not? - I can take that and have fun with the tone that they established.
