I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again.

Tequila is my salmon.

I love the Potter films. I found them the most wonderful sort of escapism every year or two.

Making a film or doing a play are completely different experiences and entirely fulfilling, but completely unique. I also think one complements the other. People often say that theater is about flexing your muscles, and is actually real acting, whereas I sort of disagree.

I always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous.

Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can't really be like that.

If you're an English actor and turn up in America, they don't have an opinion about where you sit. They have no idea what auditions to send you to, so they send you to everything.
