Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself.

So much of movie acting is in the lighting. And in loving your characters. I try to know them, and with that intimacy comes love. And now, I love Voldemort.

Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.

One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.
