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.

Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

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.

On film you put all your energies into a single glance.

If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.

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