I like to keep fit, but I never lift very heavy weights...

The sets were fantastic. The Harry Potter sets are brilliant. You do get transported for a second.

When you meet women, don't pretend to be anything that you're not.

It [the scene] can be something given to you and you go, "Ah this is a good idea, I can work with this." Sometimes it cuts right across your instinct and that's when I might resist. Even if the director might be insistent, I think it's very important to say, "Look, I'm not feeling this. I'll try to make it work but I got to let you know."

I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.

In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself.
