What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.

I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.

My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.

When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
