I think being on a film set for such a long time made me a technical actor without realizing it.
I'd love to play Puck in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'
I am a frighteningly thorough person.
I'm into weird kind of, anything that resembles magical realism.
Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it's even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words.
I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.
I thought I was an actor playing a wizard. But really, I was a wizard playing an actor.
As an artist, you have a path that you're on that evolves with the kinds of stories you want to tell.
I'm very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you're allowed to tell Jewish jokes.
The one piece of advice I would give to any actor is, if you want to go out on the street without being recognised, without even being looked at, go out with a 6ft 8in beautiful transsexual. No one gives you a second glance. Especially when you're 5ft 5in.
I'm the only kid in the world who doesn't want an eighth Harry Potter book.
There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.
Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it's more an awkwardness.
