How do you remember all those lines? By forgetting everything else.

Political correctness has become a straightjacket.

I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books; the other two are too small but they like the movies.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

Each role you play, they set a bar of challenges that you meet. And in the past, I've played characters that emotionally expressed themselves a bit more in a physical way. It was a joy, actually.

The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.

I still don't have a publicist. If I'm in a film, you have an obligation to promote it, I'll do as much as I can.
