I'm interested in the spirits of people. In the theatre, there's the acting part of acting - and I'm not saying that can't be great - and there's the essence. To explore that essence, you need a key, a look, a gesture, an insight that unlocks the person's soul.

I loved doing Harry Potter. I had a great time on that. And I think it's good to have a mix. I think you're learning all the time.

It's not great if someone gives you sort of bland praise without giving you clear direction and say, This is good, let's try it like this. I have worked with someone who seemed quite inarticulate and just would say, That's good, that's good.
