I've always thought that as long as directors and casting directors don't see me as just Harry Potter, I'll be OK. People have shown a lot of faith in me, and I owe them a huge debt. They're letting me prove that I'm serious about this.

I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it's really fun filming.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.

I think, before 'Watchmen,' I was the guy from 'Grey's Anatomy' who's a pretty good guy, a pretty charming sweet guy, and so as an actor, I really wanted to do something as far from that as I could.

I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.

I didn't want to be an actress. I wasn't trying to be in film or an art gallery for me.

There's a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn't get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I'm just not doing that. There's a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too safe.

I directed some movies in the past, and I'd still love to do that. You know, the whole thing is a labor of love, I think.

Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
