There is something inherently valuable about being a misfit. It's not to say that every person who has artistic talent was a social outcast, but there is definitely a value for identifying yourself differently and being proud that you are different.
Every situation is different. A director is what a director wants to be. If you want to force something, you can fight to the death and maybe get fired, but it's your job to help push things along.
You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.
Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie's (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish.
Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.
To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.

We could get away with more because we were a bit younger.
I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.
If this doesn't get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you,
People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past,
One of the things that has been amazing has been my parents, who have kept me completely grounded the whole time and I've never got big-headed or anything.
