I sometimes worry that all the beautiful things have been made.

It's hell with that big beard and stuff. That's the one bit I don't like. Either you take out at lunch or you don't eat. So I opted not to eat, 'cause having to put it on twice is horrific.

I've got two young kids. I don't know what the future holds.

Well, I quite like animals, but theyre unpredictable. I mean, look at old whats-his-name in Vegas. Tiger dragged him off the stage, you know? The guy brought up tigers. Theyre quite unpredictable.

I love films where the world seems to be going a bit faster and everything's a bit brighter and more in focus.

I knew it was going to be enormous because of the number of people who bought the books, but, to be honest, I never thought it would be bigger than Bond. Never in a million years.

I think the shocking thing to discover is the owls are not stupid and very feral, very hard to train.

Is it just me, or is the world full of beautiful women?

It's like going back to school. You know, autumn! Time for 'Harry Potter'.

I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down!

All things that pass Are wisdom's looking-glass.

There's nothing hard about acting except the long hours.

And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts.

Of all the well-meant emotions pity is the cruelest to share.

I seek in the reading of books, only to please myself, by an honest diversion.

I think fame is harder when people have something to hide, but I'm very comfortable, and have nothing to hide.

Historical costumes from the 18th and 19th centuries look so complicated, but when you see the patterns, it's very systematic. I've always been impressed by how the patterns economize the fabric.

Stories have the power to create social change and inspire community.
