The American version of 'The Office' is fantastic.
The most wonderful thing I hear is people coming up and saying 'Thank you for my childhood', which still blows my mind but is very sweet.
You never want to be forced to do something. But the world around you starts to influence you in ways you never expected.
One of the things that I cannot fathom is young actors who will not audition and won't read.
The sixth Harry Potter film - I don't like my performance in that film at all.
There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.
There's a lot of work that needs to be done, and there's a difference between talking the talk and walking the walk.
My taste in the films I've taken as an actor is similar to what I'd do a director or writer: all quite odd, challenging stuff, slightly off-the-wall.
It's very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything - none of which I mind - but people don't really care that much.
I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.

I'm 5-foot-5, and I'll wear a big parka and put the hood up, and nobody gives me a second glance.
