When I started acting, I thought everything should be issue-based and that there should be a helpline at the end of every program.
There's nothing more mortifying than getting an erection.
goes great hope offended people product ruled thinks voldemort wizards
Well, he's not going to get any nicer. He's a genocidal racist maniac. He's one of these people who thinks the world was a great place when Voldemort ruled the world. He's particularly offended by mixed-blood Mudbloods, the product of wizards and humans. So I hope he goes into therapy.
absolutely anybody brings business clear close contact difficult lots nice people trust
This is a business that brings you into close contact with people who have lots of money. What's been nice about that is that it's made clear to me that that absolutely does not make them happier. In fact, it often makes them isolated, and they find it very difficult to trust anybody else.
blue drop guy open saw standing stay stayed
I saw the big guy in the blue sweatshirt just standing out front. They told him to drop the gun. They told us to stay down. It was scary. I thought there was going to be open fire. I just stayed there, just didn't move.

people soul trying
I'm still spending my working life trying to mine people's souls and now they're complimenting me in reviews on the amount of time I spend in the gym. On the definition of my triceps.
sex symbols sex-symbol
I am not a sex symbol.
girlfriend children seems
It seems a bit weird to call someone your girlfriend when you have a child.
mean who-i-am people
I imagine like most of us that I'd like obscene amounts of money but the people I met and worked with who have those obscene amounts of money and have obscene amounts of fame have awful lives. Really. I mean hideously compromised lives. And I can go anywhere. No one knows who I am.
thinking playing-someone virtuous
There is nothing nicer than playing someone who is cooler, tougher, more virtuous and sexier than yourself and thinking, 'I can be anyone.
