“People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.”

“I could never do stand-up because it's that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every 10 jokes you tell, nine of them have to get a really good response.”

“I know I'm not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. So, yeah, that's how I'd define myself. I want to do it right, and prove people wrong once and for all about the myth of child stars.”

“I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I'm enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor - it's my aspiration - so I want to do other films. I want to write something and I want to direct something!”

“Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it's even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words.”

“No. I am not a royalist. Not at all. I am definitely a republican in the British sense of the word. I just don't see the use of the monarchy though I'm fierce patriot. I'm proud proud proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolizes a lot of what was wrong with the country.”

“Don't try too hard to be something you're not.”

“When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.”

“I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that's it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality to their outfit.”

“I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.”

“I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls. I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.”

“I'm 5-foot-5, and I'll wear a big parka and put the hood up, and nobody gives me a second glance.”

“I feel very English in a suit. There's something about being in a suit abroad, particularly in America, that feels empowering.”

“I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.”

“My dad grew up in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, desperate to get to London. I grew up in London, so I don't know what it's like to yearn for the big city from a small town.”

“I don't want to say I'll never play someone with a cockney accent, but I think I would be irritated by me doing it.”

“There's never enough time to do nothing!”

“I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and wondering when you're going to find out.”

“I'm a serial monogamist. I'm not one of those people that can date loads of people at the same time, it's all too complicated.”

“אני אתאיסט וכשדת מתחילה להשפיע על חקיקה, אני אתאיסט לוחמני.”
