See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren't you? Well, I've always had fast cars. It's not that. It's the fear that you're past your best. It's the fear that the stuff you've done in the past is your best work.

When you are new to the business, you think if you give a really bad performance, that's one they will print. You will be judged. You just have to be brave.

My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?

I sometimes worry that all the beautiful things have been made.

It's hell with that big beard and stuff. That's the one bit I don't like. Either you take out at lunch or you don't eat. So I opted not to eat, 'cause having to put it on twice is horrific.

Believe me, my children have more stamina than a power station.

Once you've been doing anything for twenty-five years people start to notice you.
