The work I enjoy is when the camera rolls, and I like the work in the moment.

It's always hard when you're playing someone for a lot of people out there who are going to see the movie after reading the books. There's a communion between a reader and the writer, so people will have an idea who Sirius Black is and I might not be everyone's idea of that.

Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.

In the past, I’ve had my share of good reviews, but it’s always the crazy, scary, weirdo guy. I don’t even know how it happened. Look at me. I mean, when I’m naked, I look like a bald chicken. How did I get to be a scary bad guy?

I think filmmaking should be a wonderfully free collaborative process, and it so very rarely is. I often see directors as jailers of my talent.

I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself.

'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.
