I'm somebody who is very, very proud to have been a part of the British film industry all my life and to have kind of been involved with a very important piece of British film history.
Maybe it's a compliment to the film that you can't do that with it, that it can't be explained in 15 seconds.
I am very critical! I hate watching myself but I know I have to because I'm going to be asked so I need to have some sort of semblance of what the films with me are like. But it's not an enjoyable experience watching yourself. I hate it less than I used to but I still don't enjoy it.
I think that the process of making a film is an underrated factor in how that film turns out.
If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.
And the people I'm best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.
I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.
I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anyone else.
Franchises aren't to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.
There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.
The sixth Harry Potter film - I don't like my performance in that film at all.
The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
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.
