[About child visitors to the Harry Potter set:] None of our visitors were that interested in meeting Daniel, Rupert, Emma, or for that matter, me. They wanted to meet the characters.

Between you and me, I would have preferred a box of chicken nuggets.

If you tell a person he's great enough times he'll start to believe it. If you blow enough smoke up someone's arse, sooner or later they will start breathing it in. It's almost inevitable.

I never knew I wanted this kind of life, and as time passed, an uncomfortable truth quietly presented itself to me. I didn't want it. Perhaps it sounds ungrateful, I don't mean it to. I was in a lucky and privileged position, but there was something inauthentic about the life I was leading.
