I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.

Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity.

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.

I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.

Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
