In 'Cavalry,' I had one scene where I was playing a pretty awful character.
If there's one person in the world with whom a chemistry read is unnecessary, it's Rachel McAdams.
Has anybody seen 'The Notebook' and not cried? I don't know, I don't know if that's the case. It sort of hangs around for a while.
It was when I was on stage that I realized that acting could be such a brilliant job.
'Pale Fire' by Vladimir Nabokov was bloody hard work but really thrilling.
I like Philip Larkin an awful lot; I really like his view on life, and I really connect to it.
I got very lucky with 'Harry Potter.' I got that role because I'm a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!
I think everybody's got their insecurities and hang-ups. Everybody! Unless you're an idiot.
Doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong - if I'm hungry or hot, I'm probably arguing with someone about something. Especially if that someone is rude.
Angelina Jolie is just an extremely talented, generous, nice person to be around and to work with.
Going home, spending time with the family, I feel they're my friends as well, all of them. I look forward to meeting any one of them for a coffee, and when we all get together, I just love it.
I've gotten work based on how I look, and I've not gotten work based on how I look. It's all good.
It's hard to get people up and out to shows, but 'The Walworth Farce' has masses of energy and will attract a crowd who don't always come to the theatre, which is great.
I've definitely enjoyed myself more on the projects where I've played a good person, rather than on the projects where I've played somebody who is morally compromised.
