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.

The sixth Harry Potter film - I don't like my performance in that film at all.
