I kind of drifted into acting through a series of coincidences.
-
Before Anna, I'd had a few relationships and I'm glad I've been around a bit. I know where it's gone wrong or know who are the wrong people for me and who I might be wrong for.
-
I like time off. I'm not a workaholic.
-
I don't think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was.
-
The whole question of 'What is truth?' seemed to be the theme of Trump's presidency.
-
I've always tended to write comedy, but I'd hate to just write some kind of sitcom or a lighthearted series of jokes and slapstick. I wanted to talk about some deeper things within the comedy.
-
In the prepping for 'Azkaban,' I read 'Azkaban' and 'Goblet of Fire.'
-
I had such a nice time making it, and I can't wait to make the fifth one. The whole crew were just really, really lovely. All the costume people, the make-up girls, the kids - even my driver.
-
What is truth? What is a true story? Who is telling the truth, and what is truth in this world today?
-
I got hooked to American news like a great TV season. It plays like fiction. I would come home from work, and I would put it on, and I would stay up until 2 in the morning watching it and get up in the morning and watch it.
-
It wasn't a good idea to work on 'Naked' in the first months of a marriage. I was living apart from my wife in a flat overflowing with books I was reading for the part.
-
I think I've had more fun playing Varga than I've had for quite a number of years playing anything.
-
The making of 'Naked' was an absolutely phenomenal, mind-bending experience. That film was life-changing and put my career onto a whole different level.
-
I wanted to do 'Fargo' rather than do a TV production. I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.
-
It's not my ambition to direct lots of films. I think if I direct one film in my whole life, why rush it?
-
I was a young actor in my 20s, going out in Soho, having a wild time.
-
I'm not one of those people who's against doing remakes.
-
We didn't need the Internet for Nazi Germany to happen. But I feel like there's this lack of humanity because of it.
-
I've realized over the years I either play very good people or very bad people, and I think I always enjoy the very bad people more.
-
It's a bit odd to have a daughter who sounds American.
-
And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.
-
The thing about 'Harry Potter' is it's great fun because of the people - I was usually with Julie Walters and Mark Williams, Brendan Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, and the kids. Wonderful, funny, amazing people. If you're going to hang around on a set bored, you might as well do it with Julie Walters.
-
I don't think its good for the soul to invest too much of yourself in technology.
-
I could, of course, have written about the film world and the jealousy there and the frequent belief that others don't have talent. But, for some reason, it just struck me to write about art.
